Working in cooperation with British intelligence, Turner's mission is to uncover atomic weapon secrets at a Nazi plant in occupied Norway. The task permits him time for a bit of dalliance with the lovely Anne Twomey. David McCallum and Ray Sharkey costar in this uneven location-filmed adventure caper, first broadcast December 29, 1985. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...an effort that slowly-but-surely squanders its solid premise and impressive cast...
-
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Compared to Stealth, another quasi-military film that's mostly action involving a downed flier, Behind Enemy Lines looks positively brilliant.
