    If I watched this movie today, I'm not sure how I'd rate it, but when this movie came out, I loved it! Gossett and Gedrick were my heroes!

    Increible fantasia donde un chamaco que ni siquiera es piloto, roba un F16 para salvar a su papa, y se convierte en AS de combate. Super chafa... pero la vi como mil veces.. jaja

    This is a decent action movie from the 80's. This came out the same year Top Gun was released. So I guess movies about jet fighter pilots was big that year. The films stars Jason Gedrick and Lou Gossett Jr. The film as a solid story. Plus the film has some great action sequences....( read more) But this film is not even close to Top Gun as a quality movie. But still worth at least a one time watch.
