SYNOPSIS:

Code Name: The Soldier - You don't assign him. You unleash him.

The Russians steal a nuclear device and are stating that unless the Israelis pull out from the West bank, they will detonate it, which they have planted in an oil field and if it should go off; 50% of the World's oil will be contaminated. And the Israelis are unwilling to cooperate and the Americans knowing that they can't allow this are making preparations to force the Israelis off the West bank. The President then calls the Director of the CIA to do something about this. The Director assigns the agent who works outside the official channels codenamed the Soldier. He starts by trying to see if the Russians are indeed behind it but the Russians have him marked for termination. When he tries to contact the Director, the Russians placed a bomb in his office that leaves the soldier with no one but his team and the Israelis to help him.

A team of Soviets posing as un-allied terrorists plant a nuclear weapon in a major Saudi Arabian oil field. They then threaten to detonate it unless the Israelis withdraw from the occupied West Bank. The only man who can stop them is "The Soldier."

The Russians are holding the world at ransom with a pile of stolen plutonium, and a soldier finds himself in the position to carry out an unauthorized and dangerous plan to preserve the balance of world power. Wildly implausible, gratuitously violent.

Ken Wahl and his team are outstanding in the fight sequences. Joaquim Almeida has gained popularity lately with "Clear and Present Danger" villain Hector and "Behind Enemy Lines" Admiral Pique, NATO.

COMMENTS:

The forefront of the "1980's" Action Films. Better than anything Chuck Norris except maybe Delta Force? The vehicle limo ambush is great and the undercover agents are awesome. The silo takeover is hardcore and eye opening. I saw the movie several times, I enjoyed it every time. Very hard to find.

This was an excellent movie about Espionage during The Cold War. I highly recommend this film.

This movie filmed on location in Berlin, Germany, New York City, Kurfurstendamm, and Charlottenburg.
