I must have seen this film ten times as a kid, I wouldn't take that as a full endorsement, but as a 9 years old kid, it's pretty strong.
Plot: Doug Masters (Jason Gedrick), son of a US Air force fighter pilot receives a rejection from the academy and on the same day hears his father has been shot down by the enemy-Syria. In a hair brained scheme to rescue his pop, Doug enlists the help of a veteran pilot-Charles Chappy Sinclair (Louis Gossett Jnr), together they nick a pair of fully armed F-16 fighter jets and head off to kick bad guy ass- as only the 1980s US film industry can.
Budget: $18,000,000
Gross: $24,159,872
Fun Fact: If you're still in the mood for high altitude combat, there's a few sequels-Iron Eagle II, Iron Eagle III and Iron Eagle On The Attack.
