- Reviewed in Canada on April 13, 2013Verified PurchaseClint Eastwood is well known for his western style movies,as well as some other later on in his career, but this one
stands out because he portrays a American pilot (Mitchell Gant) that sneaks behind Soviet border to carry out a dangerous
mission. That mission is the hijacking of the latest MIG-31 stealth fighter, one that the Americans want to examine, and
Gant barely escapes the clutches of the KGB, only because he is able to speak Russian. He befriends a couple of scientists on the advanced fighter project that have past issues with the Soviet regime.
Gant manages to commandeer one of the two Mig-31 prototypes and just gets airborne before the real test pilot gets into the second prototype to chase him in an arial dogfight. The dogfight sequence is basically similar to Top Gun, and Gant barely escapes intact from that to land and refuel on the frozen Artic icepack, (serviced by an American submarine). as the Russians catch up with them. (The arial dogfight sequence was the basis of a commercial video game a few years ago),
- Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2025Verified PurchaseThey should have made the sequel, as in the book.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 10, 2018Verified PurchaseThis movie is a must-see for any aviation enthusiast. The plot surrounds a new Soviet combat aircraft under the designation Mig-31 (NATO codename "Firefox"). The Soviets have developed a super fighter, which had a top speed that was not too much greater than that of the contemporary Mig-25 Foxbat interceptor. However, this plane has missiles that fire rearwards (something that the Russians have experimented with on their later Su-35 Flanker series), together with a helmet that has a thought interface with the weapons system computer (something maybe for sixth generation fighters). Add to this a stealthy looking appearance, with the exception of the engine exhausts, and you pretty much have a plane that can outfight, outrun and evade you.
Clint Eastwood stars as an ex-pilot from the Vietnam War suffering from PTSD. He also happens to be one of America's best fighter pilots, who is fluent in Russian. The Americans hatch a daring plan to steal one of these planes and Eastwood is the man for the job. This film has the hallmarks of a Cold-War-style thriller, coupled with a fantastic aerial combat footage. I'm not going to reveal the ending, as it would be a major spoiler.
This is an edge of your seat thriller-cum-action movie, which given today's combat aircraft technology does not require too much suspension of disbelief.
