About this movie

In this early action classic that features his unique blend of thrills and offbeat humor, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Col. John Matrix, ultimate soldier and one-man army. Matrix, the former leader of a special commando strike force that always got the toughest jobs done, is forced back into action when his young daughter (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped. To find her, Matrix has to fight his way through an array of punks, killers, one of his former commandos, and a fully equipped private army. With the help of a feisty stewardess (Rae Dawn Chong) and an old friend, Matrix has only a few hours to overcome his greatest challenge: finding his daughter before she's killed.

Ratings and reviews

The celebration of mayhem and violence abounds in this cracking action flick. A classic Arnie film with classic one-liners. What a decade the 80s was for Action movies, with this one being one of the best!

Awesome action one of arnie best work and a great movie love Arnold Schwarzenegger I will be back ha ha

Everything you hated from Batman and Robin is present; the pointless suiting up montages, the homoeroticism, the terrible puns, the sheer stupidity, and, of course, Arnie. And yet, Commando remains infinitely watchable, and it's sometimes somewhat awesome.
