Flight of the Intruder [DVD]

Movie / Show Details

Director John Milius brings this 1991 war action film to the screen, featuring Brad Johnson and Danny Glover as U.S. Navy pilots stationed in Vietnam. Frustrated by military constraints that seem to undermine their mission, the two pilots devise an unauthorized bombing run against a Hanoi arms depot, flying their low-altitude A-6 Intruder in a daring climax. Milius crafts a story that balances the camaraderie and dangerous thrills of combat flying with a critical examination of the Vietnam War itself, honoring the soldiers who serve even when the larger mission feels pointless.

This is a single-disc DVD release from Paramount Pictures with a runtime of 1 hour 55 minutes and a PG-13 rating. The film features an ensemble cast including Christopher Rich, Dann Florek, and Douglas Roberts, with the screenplay adapted from Stephen Coonts’ novel by David Shaber and Robert Dillon.
