Based on a true story, Menahem Golan’s jingoistic Cannon Films thrill-ride sends Chuck Norris, Lee Marvin and their elite team of high-powered soldiers in to rescue an all-star plane full of Americans (Martin Balsam, George Kennedy, Shelley Winters and other recognizable faces) held hostage by Lebanese terrorists led by a mustachioed Robert (Jackie Brown) Forster. But The Delta Force doesn’t negotiage with terrorists… they blow them away!
“Robert Forster gives a frighteningly good performance, intense and uncompromising. He makes the threat real and keeps The Delta Force from becoming just an action comic book.” – Roger Ebert
