"...the most devastating killing machine ever built... his job... steal it!"

Boxlist takeExpect a very fast, wide-ranging sci-fi film, heightened rather than true to life. Best if you like spectacle over intimacy.

Synopsis

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.
