Most of it is a typical cold war post Vietnam movie, but the part were he walks thru the hanger into the jet is Eastwood at his best!

This was one of my personal favorite Eastwood films when I was a kid. The visual effects may look dated today but it is still entertaining. Unlike some of Eastwood's film's from this era this one does not contain a ton of action. It might move a bit slower then some would like. The drama is around getting into Moscow during the communist cold war era undetected to steal the Russian's secret Mach 6 jet fighter Firefox. There is a lot of tension around these events but it takes a while to get to the film's payoff ending sequences. Once there we get a jet fighter combat sequence that is akin to the 80's classic Top Gun but not quite as entertaining. Overall this is a good movie that deviates a bit from some of Eastwood's other films making it worth a viewing or two.

it's a 3.2 for me. the (flyer fight) last air—battle scene 😵 tainted this film for me. Did they realise they had Clint… filming this, they didn't emphasise HIS rough-&-tumble!😕 did any of you Flight Specialist notice that aircraft FLIP in the last 😵 ??
