An entertaining cold war fantasy, this thriller is piloted by actor-director Clint Eastwood. When the Russians develop a Mach 5 jet with thought-controlled weaponry, the free world needs someone to go and steal it from them in order to maintain the balance of power. Mitch Gant (Eastwood) was once a hotshot pilot and speaks fluent Russian, so despite his mental instability (he's suffering from posttraumatic stress as a result of his experiences in Vietnam), he's the man for the job. Along the way, he's aided by some Jewish dissidents (including a scientist played by Nigel Hawthorne). Essentially, Eastwood has adapted an espionage thriller by Craig Thomas into a fun action film. The jet itself is impressive and the final dogfight between the two Firefox prototypes is quite thrilling.
