Plot Synopsis by Paul Brenner
Stuart Rosenberg, under the guise of Alan Smithee, directed this action film concerning a soldier of fortune sent into a South American country to rescue a kidnapped American during a revolutionary upheaval. Harry Burk Jr. (
Mark Harmon) and United States Ambassador Douglas (Bruce Gray) are held hostage by Colombian drug dealers who demand the release of associates who are imprisoned in the United States. But the U.S. government refuses to negotiate with the drug dealers. In disgust, Harry's brother Corey (
Michael Schoeffling) and three of his friends (Tom Wilson, Glen Frey, and
Rick Rossovich), along with an adventurous auto dealer named Jack (
Gary Busey), hire mercenary soldier Shrike (
Robert Duvall) to sneak into Columbia and rescue Harry.
