synopsis
In the very successful first appearance of several "Delta Force" action films that continued into the early '90s, this non-stop, flag-waving advocate for covert violence over diplomatic negotiations is not for those who favor gun control. Based on the real incident of a hijacking of a TWA plane in Athens that was successfully negotiated to a conclusion, this fictional version has the covert Delta Force leader Colonel Nick Alexander (Lee Marvin) team up with Major Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris) to conquer the bad guys by violence.
