Overview

The Soviets have developed a revolutionary new jet fighter, called 'Firefox'. Worried that the jet will be used as a first-strike weapon—as there are rumours that it is undetectable by radar—the British send ex-Vietnam War pilot, Mitchell Gant on a covert mission into the Soviet Union to steal the Firefox.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A cold-war heist thriller that builds tension through espionage and infiltration before exploding into breathtaking aerial sequences. It's a cat-and-mouse game where staying one step ahead of Soviet forces matters as much as the mechanics of stealing an advanced fighter jet.
