For modern audiences this movie is barely watchable. Aside from the obvious historic/scientific inaccuracies (if you don't know them there is no point in me explaining them) the special effects are horribly dated and the storyline is so simple they had to fill time with scenes of fights with animals or escapes from animals that really don't add to the plot and remark the inaccuracies in this movie. I watched it because of Raquel Welch and found the delightful Martine Beswick a further pleasure to watch but other than that there is not much to recommend. 4/10 because of Raquel's famous bikini.

Yes, they all talk about the beautiful terrorist but Amanda Wyss is really the scene stealer in this otherwise BAD MOVIE. ++++ SPOILER ALERT ++++ Questions that merit an answer: 1) How can you believe they would use an SR71 carrying four people in a "cargo compartment" where all an SR71 has in that section of its body is a huge fuel tank? 2) How come everyone in the plane did not die horribly poisoned with the "biological weapon"? 3) How is it possible that Dudikoff, who did not know how to fly a plane, manages to land a 747 so smoothly and smack in the middle of the runway without any kind of coaching? For that matter, how is it possible that after going down to 10,000 ft because of decompression the plane was PERFECTLY aligned with the runway (how convenient) and Dudikoff only had to apply the brakes? For God's sakes, how did he know where the brakes were? 4) Don't people know that explosive decompression does not last forever - only while pressure equalizes inside and outside the plane - but the characters in this movie had to hold on for dear life even after a good 10 minutes had passed since the door had been opened...? And so on and so forth - if you took the time to read my comment forget about the movie (or watch it to catch a sight of beautiful Amanda Wyss...)
