Into The Sun Details

Anthony Michael Hall's career started slipping the minute he started losing his geeky teenage looks, and this was one of his failed bids to relaunch himself as an action star. It's still worth a look, though, if only for a smarter-than-usual premise. Hall is the pampered Hollywood star researching a new film role who is reluctantly taken under the wing of maverick air force ace Michael Paré. Soon the pair find themselves caught up in a real-life war. There are shades of the similarly themed comedy The Hard Way in the beginning, although the film degenerates into Rambo-style clichés once the stars are caught behind enemy lines.
