Co-starring:

Rated PG-13

Time: approx. 105 min.

Owen Wilson plays a navigator that is tired of the lack of action during his seven years in the Navy. While doing a routine reconnaissance mission he and his pilot get shot down over southern Bosnia. There the pilot is killed by Bosnian military personel. The navigator gets away and is being hunted. Gene Hackman plays Owen Wilson's character's Admiral who wants to get his guy out of that situation, but the people above him won't let them go in on a rescue mission since they weren't supposed to be there in the first place. This plot is not very complicated, but there is a lot of good action. This movie is just a good ol' fashioned action flick. It will probably be on TBS's Movies for Guys Who Like Movies.
