Very nostalgic love for this film. There's just something exciting about the idea of stealing a high tech jet fighter even if it is totally implausible.

Coldwar espionage thriller, with some high-tech hardware and sfx thrown in for fun. Well-acted, well-plotted, and well-paced. The themes and subject matter haven't really stood up against time, though, as have the visuals. Still, i can think of a lot worse movies than this one.

Totally awesome movie about Clint Eastwood stealing an awesome plane from the Russians. The only big problem I have with it is the dogfighting scene between the two MiGs - it has a pathetic ending.

Dated and cliche now, this relic of the cold war in the 80's was a decent spy flick with a lot of sci fi thrown in. A jet fighter controlled by thought. "Think Russian!" Yeah, that will work. Even in 1982, the special effects were poor. Admitedly, as a 10 year old, I loved it.

I was a kid and super russian fighter jets were awesome. Remove the childish love and its fairly sub-par.

Oh my God, how I wanted that jet when I was 7. Wait, there was a movie here?

This movie has still a slight bonus for me from viewing it as child and loving it. The ending is crappy.

I thought this was a great movie when I was 12. I'm older now and this movie is awful. So, rent it if you're 12 and skip it otherwise.

Good

Not bad.

The first half of this film seems to work pretty well as a spy thriller. But then it gets derailed by wonky sci-fi elements and boring flight sequences that really drag the film down.
