Behind Enemy Lines is a heart-pounding action movie directed by J. Lee Thompson and released in 1987 (not 1986 as incorrectly stated on the cover). Starring Gene Hackman as Lieutenant Colonel Gus Peltzer, an American pilot shot down behind enemy lines during World War II, this gripping tale of survival against all odds has become a classic of the genre.

Set primarily in Nazi-occupied Albania, Behind Enemy Lines follows Major John 'Bull' McClane (played by Powers Boothe) and his crew as they embark on a perilous mission to rescue Peltler from enemy hands. After crash landing deep behind enemy lines, Peltzer must use every ounce of resourcefulness he possesses to evade capture by the ruthless Albanian resistance fighters who are hot on his heels.

With its tense atmosphere, pulse-pounding action sequences and outstanding performances from an all-star cast including Donald Sutherland as Colonel Ericson and a young Sean Biggerstaff in one of his early roles, Behind Enemy Lines is a must-see for fans of war movies everywhere.
