Good 1980's Cheese

Lee Marvin and Chuck Norris, what else really needs to be said?

Ok, I'll say some more, Chuck as a one-man wrecking crew commanded by Marvin not only rescuing hostages but taking down the kidnapping terrorists in the process. Outside of the obvious requirement of suspension of disbelief on many different fronts needed for any action movie, the only real flaws with this movie are the lack of motivation of the terrorists hijacking the plane and taking hostages and the TV Network "Movie-of-the-Week" feel to it. It seems as though the producers and director assume everybody already knows the source material for this movie and just decides to take everybody for a ride watching Chuck go to town on the terrorists.

But still a very much enjoyable movie with lots of good star power put to good use.
