Flight of the Intruder
The only thing they can count on is each other.
Directed by John Milius
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A war action film centered on two disillusioned pilots who bond over their defiant rejection of military constraints, driven by combat sequences and moral frustration rather than introspection.
U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Jake Grafton and his bombardier buddy, Lt. Cmdr. Virgil Cole, are two soldiers embedded in the Vietnam War growing frustrated by the military's constraints on their missions. Despite the best efforts of their commanding officer, Cmdr. Frank Camparelli, to re-engage them, this disillusioned pair decide to take the war effort into their own hands with an explosive battle plan that could well get them court-martialed.
