Plots(1)
American Travel Ways Flight 282 has been hijacked by a group of terrorists claiming to represent the New World Revolutionary Organisation. The Delta Force, under the leadership of Captain Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris), is called in to handle the situation. Still smarting from an ill-fated hostage rescue mission several years prior, this elite squad of special forces are determined to succeed in their mission this time and assert the might of the American military once and for all. Drawing on a number of true-life terrorist incidents for inspiration, most notably the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847, The Delta Force is a non-stop thrill ride which culminates in one of the most explosive action flick finales of all time. With Chuck Norris on hand to provide the muscle and gravelly-voiced Lee Marvin in his last ever screen role, The Delta Force is one mission you can't afford not to accept. (Arrow Films)

While political incorrectness still had a few decades left to live, Arab terrorists, with Chuck present, had only a few hours left. There are two different tones. First, a fairly authentic kidnapping segment referencing the TWA Flight 847 events (selection of passengers based on Jewish-sounding names, the death of a US Navy diver), and then the activities of the fearless Major McCoy, who waits by the TV at 2:30 AM for a signal. The red-haired Charon transports half of Lebanon while refusing even a coin for his incorruptibility, his motorcycle's exhaust belches deadly rockets, and Alan Silvestri's synth disco plays oddly in the background. While Lee Marvin realized how his action career paled in comparison to this and wisely retired, the extra Neeson could save himself for future roles and learn how to handle missions faster than the lengthy 96 Hours.
