Re: movie:on wings of eagles

I'm not familiar with your movie. John Wayne was in The Wings of Eagles, and Burt Lancaster was in The Gypsy Moths. What is your film about?

Re: movie:on wings of eagles

hi this is what the movie On Wings of Eagles (1986) is about
Ken Follett's best-selling novel becomes a 5 hour mini-series. As the Ayatollah Khomeini takes over Iran, two executives of the Texas based Electronic Data System's (EDS) are arrested in Tehran and held for $13,000,000 ransom. H. Ross Perot (Richard Crenna), the company head, tries diplomatic approaches to get his executives released. When that fails, he hires a retired Army Colonel (Burt Lancaster) to head up a rescue mission. They put together a first-class team including Paul Le Mat as Lancaster's second-in-command and Esai Morales as an Iranian EDS trainee.

I think it was based on a true story. And it is a great movie.
