"I eat Green Berets for breakfast. And right now, I'm very hungry!"

It's summer, people! And that means... We fight for love, and we're going COMMANDO to do it. In this classic slice of 80's action-movie goodness, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as John Matrix, the former leader of a special commando strike force - and he always got the toughest jobs done. When he is forced back into action after his young daughter is kidnapped (Alyssa Milano), he has to find her (I mean, she's "the boss.") Can Matrix fight his way through an array of punks, killers, one of his former commandos, and a fully equipped private army? With the help of a feisty stewardess (Rae Dawn Chong) and an old friend, Matrix has only a few hours to overcome his greatest challenge: Finding his daughter... Before she's killed.

"Rae Dawn Chong lights up the film like a firefly, Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers a certain light touch of his own, [and] the result is palatable action comics." (Variety)
