The Rescue ** (1988, Kevin Dillon, Christine Harnos, Marc Price, Ned Vaughn) – Classic Movie Review 13,497
The 1988 American gung-ho action adventure film The Rescue stars Kevin Dillon, Christine Harnos, Marc Price, Charles Haid, Ian Giatti, James Cromwell, Edward Albert and Timothy Carhart.
Director Ferdinand Fairfax’s 1988 American adventure film The Rescue stars Kevin Dillon, Christine Harnos, Marc Price, Charles Haid, Ian Giatti, James Cromwell, Edward Albert, Timothy Carhart, Michael Gates Phenicie, and Mel Wong.
The Rescue is a moderate gung ho Eighties action adventure, with a useful, appealing star in Kevin Dillon, about a group of teenagers who set out to rescue their Navy SEAL commando fathers from captivity in a North Korean prison.
It is written by Michael J Henderson, Jim Thomas, and John Thomas, and produced by Laura Ziskin.
It is shot in New Zealand, standing in for South and North Korea.
It comes from the director of True Blue.
It was a costly failure for Disney’s Touchstone Pictures, costing $14.5 million and earning less than $6 million at the box office.
