[2] In 1985, during the Iran–Iraq War, Colonel Doug Matthews (Michael Dudikoff), is a U.S. Marine hired to help train Iraqi troops to fight off the Iranians.

He arrives somewhere in the northern part of Iraq only to discover that stormtroopers are killing people in the nearby village.

Five years later, in August, at Baghdad Airport, the news reports that Iraq has invaded Kuwait and that all foreign nationals are to be evacuated.

Emanuel Levy of Variety magazine called it " a lame, small-budget actioner that exploits its political context without delivering the expected thrills of the genre."
