Braddock: Missing in Action III

1988 · 102 min

A grim, explosion-heavy rescue mission that plays like a formulaic one-man-army picture, with occasional stabs at emotion.

Tagline
He's fighting for everyone who can't fight back.
Overview
When Colonel James Braddock is told that his Asian wife and 12-year-old son are still alive in Communist Vietnam, he mounts a one-man assault to free them. Armed with the latest high-tech firepower, Braddock fights his way into the heart of the country and ends up battling his way out with several dozen abused Amerasian children in tow! Struggling to keep them alive while outmaneuvering a sadistic Vietnamese officer, Braddock ignites the jungle in a blazing cross-country race for freedom.
