The Soviets have developed a new revolutionary jet fighter Firefox that could evade radar and function using brain waves. They recruit Russian speaking ex-Vietnam pilot Mitchell Gant (Clint Eastwood) into the Soviet Union to steal Firefox. He is still haunted by his experience in Vietnam. He is assumed to be expendable and takes the identity of a heroine smuggler who is tracked by the KGB.
I don't know why he is taking on the identity of a drug smuggler. That seems like the worst idea ever. The whole infiltration is completely unbelievable. It's also pretty lifeless. The movie is way too long. The plane is good fun and that's the only salvation. It just takes forever to get there.
