Title: Excellent Story, with 80's value production
Review: Steal the Sky tells the story of how an American spy working for the Israeli's convinces an Iraqi pilot to defect and bring with him a Soviet Mig. The Mig's were supplied to the Arab nations in their ongoing conflict with the nation of Israel, and the Mossad (Israel's) covert spy agency wanted to get one so the Air Force could understand its capabilities.Mariel Hemingway stars as the American spy who uses seduction to convince the married Iraqi pilot (Ben Cross) to defect to Israel with the jet. The story is excellent; however, the production value leaves a lot to be desired. Many of the jets used were not accurate to the actual event. Moreover, there is the usual cheese that comes with an 80's movie. But, once again, it is a good story that shows how vital intelligence and the spy game is.
