What It’s About:  When terrorists hijack an American airliner flying out of Greece the Delta Force is sent in to rescue the hostages.

Why Watch It Today?:  The film climaxes with an ambush on this date in 1985.  The first half of the film plays like a very late Airport sequel in which the plane is hijacking and George Kennedy’s Patroni has joined the priesthood, while the second half is a more typical Chuck Norris action film from the mid-80s.  The disconnect between the two styles can be fun-provided you are accompanied by some game friends and perhaps your favorite alcoholic beverages.
