Short description

Colonel James Braddock believed his Vietnamese wife had died during the fall of Saigon, more than a decade earlier. Word reaches him through a missionary that she survived and that he has a son he never knew about. Braddock returns to Vietnam to bring his family out, but a Vietnamese general stands in his way, and the rescue turns into a fight to escape the country.

Chuck Norris stars as Braddock and co-wrote the screenplay with James Bruner. Aaron Norris directed, making this the first film in his directing career; he went on to make Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection, Sidekicks, Hellbound and Top Dog. Aki Aleong plays General Quoc, with Yehuda Efroni as Reverend Polanski and Keith David as an embassy gate captain. Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus produced for Cannon Group and Golan-Globus Productions, and the film was shot in the United States and the Philippines with a budget of 9 million dollars. It earned about 6 million dollars worldwide.

The film is the third entry in the Missing in Action series and runs 102 minutes. Audience scores are modest: on IMDb it holds 4.9 out of 10 from around 8,000 votes, and on TMDB 5.7 out of 10 from roughly 300 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • During location shooting in the Philippines, a helicopter rented by Cannon Film Group from the Philippine Armed Forces crashed in the bay. Four people died in the crash, and five more were injured to varying degrees.
  • When Colonel Braddock, played by Chuck Norris, is in Thailand, traffic is shown driving on the right side of the road, whereas in reality it drives on the left in Thailand.
  • Chuck Norris threatened to sue Cannon for what he believed was insufficient effort put into the film's advertising campaign, which he considered at the time to be the strongest film of his career.
