    Storyline

    Edit
    Chappy Sinclair is called to gather together a mixed Soviet/U.S. strike force that will perform a surgical strike on a massively defended nuclear missile site in the Middle East. Chappy finds that getting the Soviet and U.S. Pilots to cooperate is only the most minor of his problems as he discovers someone in the Pentagon is actively sabotaging his mission. As they begin their assault, Chappy finds that a nuclear strike has been ordered should they fail, which will catch his forces on the ground next to ground zero. —John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      It can clearly be seen on some of the computer screens at the enemy missile base that spreadsheets of Lotus 123 are loaded instead of any missile launch software.
    • Goofs
      The "Mig 23's" fought are actually F-21 Kfir C7 produced by Israel (in fact in the first movie they simply switched the color scheme on them). However, the Israeli Air Force has a long history of assisting in films involving air combat. This isn't a "goof" so much as a practical substitution issue.
    • Quotes

      Sinclair: Man, if we get outta this thing, I want you to come to the States. I'll show you some stuff that you'll never believe.

      Vodovsky: No way, my friend. I'm told in the States they shoot Communists in the streets.

      Sinclair: Hell, man. In Detroit, my hometown, they shoot EVERYBODY in the streets!

    Grounded.
    Far from anything remotely special, but just as good as its fair predecessor. The only relation between the two films is the Louis Gossett, Jr. character as he is called in to lead a group of pilots that are from the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Another one of those many films made in the 1980s to capitalize off the fear of the Cold War. The direction is mediocre and the screenplay is sophomoric. With that said some of the flying sequences are well-done and Gossett's performance is not bad at all. However he does look a lot more impressive with sub-par players around him. Never really wins its wings by the time it tries to fly. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
