Colonel James Braddock is an American officer who spent seven years in a North Vietnamese POW camp, then escaped 10 years ago. After the bloodiest war, Braddock accompanies a government investigation team that goes to Ho Chi Minh City to check out reports of Americans still held prisoner. Braddock gets the evidence then travels to Thailand, where he meets Tuck, an old Army buddy turned black market kingpin. Together, they launch a mission deep into the jungle to free the American POWs from General Trau. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Trivia
In one scene Braddock is watching a cartoon of Spider-man on TV. Cannon films (the producers of the Missing in Action Series) had just acquired the rights to make a Spider-man film from Marvel so were able to show the clip royalty free. The intention was to have Missing in Action director Joseph Zito (a long time Spider-man fan) make a $20 million film some time in 1986 and Cannon even went as far as having promotional photographs for the project taken and the intended film was advertised to press and overseas distributors. However by this time Cannon had severe financial problems due to their attempts at moving into bigger budget films (see Superman IV as an example) and the project was ultimately shelved, with rights reverting back to Marvel after Cannon's bankruptcy in 1990.
