Runtime	1 hr. 39 min.
Studio	MGM
Genres	Action and Adventure
Description	Air force lieutenant Lisa Echhorn is determined to prove her mettle by taking a grueling escape-and-evasion course. Along with several other trainees, Echhorn is parachuted to a remote island where she is to be tracked down by the "enemy". Reluctantly teamed with major Tom Skerritt, who has been injured in the jump, Echhorn successfully reaches the "safe" goal she's been assigned, only to learn that she has been dragooned into a far more deadly training program than she'd expected. Put to work in a hard labor camp, Echhorn is subjected to various and sundry humiliations by master sadists Anthony Zerbe and Richard Roundtree. What started out as mere "war games" ends in dead seriousness as Echhorn is forced to face her tormentors alone.

Not quite what I expected but was a good movie. I don't understand why if the pilots knew it was an exercise in escape and survival why they didn't at least try to escape. At least Hogan's Heroes did that much.

I liked watching this flick. A psycho commander on an Island named after himself who does anything and everything he wants, classic. Some candy ass pilots that puss out and fight with each other, typical.. So she gets raped, you saw that coming in the first five minutes. The way she was portrayed seemed realistic, she was raped and water boarded but she dealt with it. I didn't like the ending but it wasn't bad. People complain about the military mistakes, deal with it. I'm in the military and it wasn't as bad as recent flicks like "Hurt Locker." It was the 80's and its Hollywood, maybe your expectations are not very realistic.. Or maybe I am just not a very good critic and should complain like everyone else. I don't know if I would watch it again, but it wasn't a waste of time.

In 1986, I may have liked it. There have been so many good military action films since then that put this one to shame. The plot was predictable. There is no suspense when you know that no one will get killed. Once someone was killed, the movie became a bit more suspenseful, but still predictable.

I don't know what a person's sexuality has to do with being in a POW camp. If they are going to rape a woman, they will rape her. Ive never been a POW, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't bother to stop to ask her if shes a lesbian.

Yes. Its not just the military unfortunately. When it was reported by our local papers that over 1000 women serving in our military had reported being assaulted by men in the military, it was a short story buried in the back of the paper. We all saw what happened however, when terrorist suspects being held were forced to SIMULATE having sex with each other. Headline after headline!

Is this the film that Ridley Scott got his idea for GI Jane. If so he did a better job with GI Jane then this movie.
