Trivia:
A total of nine models of the Firefox were built. Six were used as miniatures for filming, two actually flew, and one was built to full-scale specifications. Several flying shots were later reused in Back to the Future Part II (1989). moreGoofs:
Factual errors: There're no lavatories for the public in Moscow metro. Original 80's Moscow metro trains are also much older then the ones in the movie. moreQuotes:
Air Marshal Kutuzov: You had considered, First Secretary, that this could all be an elaborate bluff by the Americans to distract us from looking to the north, while this single aircraft attempts to escape to the south?First Secretary: No, Kutuzov, the Americans are simply paying the price for too many years of softness - paying with an act of desperation such as this one.
Air Marshal Kutuzov: You are absolutely certain?
First Secretary: I am certain. They know the potential of this aircraft; they know what it means. I would imagine that, had our positions been reversed, we might have acted similarly.

In this miserable, slow paced spy movie, Clint Eastwood plays an ex-Vietnam Vet who is hired to go to Russia and steal a war plane known as Firefox. To help him, he must pass on different identities and be accompanied by other Russians. When he finally flies the firefox, the movie features some incredible special effects and there are few good action scenes before that, but there are several scenes when people just keep talking and the flying scenes are interupted by people talking on land.
