Supreme Sanction is a 1999 action crime thriller film directed by John Terlesky and starring Michael Madsen, Kristy Swanson, and David Dukes.

A secret government unit, Section Alpha, leads an enemy pilot to attack army helicopters during a patrol, killing a female soldier.

A television reporter investigates to uncover the truth but the unit wants him killed too, so it sends a skilled assassin.

After saving his life, she joins him to fight back.
