The story closely resembles a similar real life rescue from the book and movie Bat*21 (1988), which Gene Hackman starred in 5 years later. more

Gene Hackmans' presence makes it worth seeing. Typical guy movie but well worth seeing. Leave the girls at home, rent it, go to your buddys' place & watch it. Even after 16 years it's still a good catch. I watch it every 2 years and still enjoy it.
