Storyline

Macho Lawrence 'Larry' Hammer and frailer Dean Mazzoli initially rival as U.S. Navy SEAL trainees, but become buddies in instructor chief petty officer Bosco's merciless training class. The friends date two girls, but both love Barbara, who chooses to marry Larry, as ideal father for her pre-teen son. After graduation from Basic UDT/SEAL training, they choose opposite oceans for further training. However Sadam Husein's invasion of Kuwait gets both mobilized in the same unit, with Bosco, who gets captured and tortured. Dean learns Barbara has left adulterer Larry. They mount a rescue together, taking risks even on their own side.—KGF Vissers



Short Review

I only wish this one was reduced to The Finest Minute. What a piece of bombastic, flag waving sausage. Another tribute to the Navy S.e.a.l.s. , they get involved in fighting that super power known as ...... Iraq? See real footage of ex-president George Bush greeting the troops. All in all, pretty standard fare, this one has a romatic subplot as well with two friends involved with the same woman. I can't restrain myself, this one hit rock bottom with me about 15 minutes into the film. Two Navy S.E.A.L.S. are sent on a dangerous mission to destroy an Iraqi missile installation containing chemical warheads aimed at the U.S. ships entering the Persian Gulf.CastRob Lowe Gale Hansen Tracy Griffith Eb Lottimer CrewEditor: Netaya Anbar Production Designer: Avishi Avivi Executive Producer: Ami Artzi Editor: Bob Ducsay Producer: Menahem Golan Director: Shimon Dotan Screenplay: Shimon Dotan Cinematographer: Avi Karpik Composer: Walter Christian Rothe Associate Producer: Zvi Spielmann Casting Director: Tova Tzipin Screenplay: Stuart Schoffman Costume Designer: Rochelle Zaltzman
