US air force lieutenant Lisa Echhorn is determined to prove her mettle by taking a grueling escape-and-evasion course.

An effective, but little-known action-thriller about a military-training exercise taken too far by a crazy commanding officer.

Not a bad movie, actually. One interesting bit of trivia: In this 1986 movie, Lisa Eichhorn's character gets waterboarded -- long before most of us had ever heard of waterboarding. They depicted it accurately, too. In fact, I think Eichhorn may really have been briefly waterboarded for the filming.
