Энэ киноны тухай

"It rips through the skies at six times the speed of sound, is invisible to radar and spits death -- launching and guiding missiles directly through the pilot's impulses. It's the MIG-31, the most devastating war machine ever built, code name Firefox. But Firefox belongs to the Russians. To maintain the balance of world power, the West must steal it. Clint Eastwood directs and stars as ace U.S. pilot Mitchell Gant, the man for the job. Firefox delivers a unique payload of nail-biting suspense and effects pyrotechnics. Special Visual Effects Producer John Dykstra won an Oscar for Star Wars* -- and his work on Firefox is in that out-of-the-world class. Join Eastwood in the cockpit and soar!"

Great movie from it's era and still translates well to this day. I first watched this a a youngster back in the early 80's. Eastwood delivers a stoic, tense performance that fits the material perfectly. While not for everyone, it is certainly worth it especially if you enjoy Cold War or military themed movies.

It was June 18,1982 when "FIREFOX" showing in theaters around North America and in the Philippines later in August was 'overwhelming' the audiences! With 'Mach 5 of suspense will hold on to your the edge of your seats!'

This was one of my personal favorite Eastwood films when I was a kid. The visual effects may look dated today but it is still entertaining. Unlike some of Eastwood's film's from this era this one does not contain a ton of action. It might move a bit slower then some would like. The drama is around getting into Moscow during the communist cold war era undetected to steal the Russian's secret Mach 6 jet fighter Firefox. There is a lot of tension around these events but it takes a while to get to the film's payoff ending sequences. Once there we get a jet fighter combat sequence that is akin to the 80's classic Top Gun but not quite as entertaining. Overall this is a good movie that deviates a bit from some of Eastwood's other films making it worth a viewing or two.
