The Delta Force Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Menahem Golan
Genres: Action
Rating:
Menahem_Golan melds a Chuck_Norris action spectacle with the disaster film genre in The Delta Force. The story is based upon the June, 1985 hijacking of a TWA jet, where passengers were held at gun-point by terrorists in Beirut, Lebanon. The film re-enacts various real life incidents from the crisis -- an American serviceman is beaten to death, a terrorist holds a gun to the pilot's head as the pilot is being questioned by reporters -- while depicting the tension aboard the plane and the agony of the passengers, held under the threat of death by the terrorists. The Delta Force, a crack anti-terrorist commando group, is preparing to rescue the passengers. Colonel Nick Alexander (Lee_Marvin) is the grizzled commander of the task force; his best soldier is Major Scott McCoy (Chuck_Norris), who was planning to retire but is called back into action for one last heroic stand against terrorism.
