Info

A joint task force operation between the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Army has been formed to dismantle one of the largest drug cartels operating in South America. Multiple attempts to assault the cartel's mountainous compound have been thwarted by a Scorpion-attack helicopter piloted by a cartel leader, Eric Stoller (Bert Rhine). After having several aircraft shot down, most notably a pair of UH–60 Black Hawks and their AH–1 Cobra escorts, the army turns to the new AH–64 Apache attack helicopter, which can match its enemies' maneuverability and firepower.

Fire Birds Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
lastliberal I like Sean Young. She was hot, hot, hot in No Way Out, but totally wasted in this movie. Tommy Lee Jones is also one of my favorites, but. again he was wasted here. There just wasn't much for him to do in this formulaic movie about a cocky pilot (Nickolas Cage) who had to come down a peg, and then saves the day. Wow! where have we seen that before? If you are going to have Apache helicopter action in support of an attack on the drug cartels, then lets see some more action that just Cage and the bad guy. Ho hum, we know how that is going to end.I did see a couple of regular supporters in this flick that I like, but, all-in-all, it was just filler until something better came on.
Elspode Subject says it all. The worst movie ever made, seriously, zero redeeming qualities. Even the action scenes are boring. Stilted dialog, insipid plot, derivative storyline, laughable direction and acting.This film is a landmark of bad film, something that should be enshrined in the Hall of Shame. Do not watch this film under any circumstances, including being held at gunpoint.Rarely will you see talented people having their skills so poorly used, even when they obviously phoned in the part. Cage and Jones, usually actors of some quality, are total stereotypes and probably made the biggest mistakes of their acting careers by allowing this film to ever be released with their faces and names attached to it. Sean Young, however, performs up to expectations, as there are none for her.Did I mention that this movie is incredibly, unbelievably *bad*?
stu1002 This film is nowhere near as bad as people on here claim.Alright, it's not original, and it's not accurate, but it's a fun way to spend an evening.Not to mention the AWESOME performance from Tommy Lee Jones. He delivers line after line of cocky deadpan humour to perfection in this film.If you are a Tommy Lee Jones fan, this film is a MUST see, as it has him at his very best. If you loved lines like "dammit, we've only got an inch of topsoil left!" in under siege, or the "Alright people, listen up, we have a fugitive on the loose!" speech from The Fugitive, you are going to love some of his stuff in this film.
hailtothevictorz I must admit, I busted a gut several times during this crap-fest... how these top-notch actors were directed into this mess is still beyond me... the four-star IMDb rating is insaneI wish more comedies gave me the giggles like this oneNicolas Cage and Tommy Lee Jones struggle to look serious against writing that is shoddy and painful to hear... I really am only writing this review because this is, in my opinion the worst big-budget movie of our time... I think it would have made a great MST3K targetThis actually spawned a really bad TV show, too!That gives it extra creditShould have starred Dolph Lungren and The Rock
