Producer/director/star Clint Eastwood takes his sweet time getting Firefox started. Eastwood plays Mitchell Gant, a past-his-prime U.S. pilot, smuggled into the Soviet Union to steal a new Russian supersonic fighting plane. Fortunately the KGB men are as burnt out as Gant, enabling him to abscond with the plane with the greatest of ease. The rest of the film is a protracted chase, pitting Gant against scores of impersonal MIG pilots. Based on a novel by Craig Thomas. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Clint Eastwood stars in the 1980s action hit Firefox. Presented in s nice looking anamorphic widescreen, this transfer appears to be in excellent shape with solid colors and dark black levels throughout. While a small amount of edge enhancement pops up from time to time, overall this is a fine looking transfer which should please any Eastwood fanatics. The soundtrack is presented in a newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 track which features a few well placed directional effects. With some zooming surround sounds and a great music score throughout, Warner has done an excellent job which will please any view in possession of a home theater system. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. There is little in the way of extra features on this disc, save for a quick featurette titled "Clint Eastwood: Director." This very short peek behind-the-scenes only serves to whet the palates of Eastwood fans everywhere. Also included on this disc are some film highlights for Eastwood as well as a theatrical trailer for the film. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
