He is a father obsessed with the idea that his son is still alive and being held prisoner 10 years after he was reported missing in action in Vietnam. Wealthy Robert Stack, in the same boat, finances the raising of a platoon to go in there and get their boys back. With a strong cast including Fred Ward and Patrick Swayzj, it should have been even better.
