Firefox | Stealing the Soviet MiG-31 Fighter Jet | Warner Classics

Bit big for a "fighter" don't you think?

best jet of this era mig 25

i went to see this at the movies back in 80s its funny cause the plane looked futuristic back then but today it looks like something from 60s with all the new technology planes coming out and a Russian Captian that sounds like an american lol yea ok that would never fly but great movie with Clint Eastwood.

It was all fueled up, ready for a flight?

Kenneth Colley… very fine actor. Was class in Star Wars and made a very fine exiled Napoleon.

Back when we thought Russia was a threat lol.

Plot twist...the gestapo guy from Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark was actually an escaped jewish scientist and now he works for the russians in this movie.

In reality it would have turned out to be a cheap copy of a plane the USA had already made and all russia could do was steal some secrets and then right royally screw it up, su57, the white swan and their crappy version of Concorde are just some that instantly spring to mind.

Never saw this movie before, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hitman 2016's tutorial took inspiration from this scene. The setting and premise is very similar.

A причёска то граждаская...

Such a faithful adaption of the Craig Thomas book. I really wish they would make a movie adaptation of Winter Hawk. Mitchell Gant just doesn't quit.

Anyone here read the follow up book by Craig Thomas ....Firefox Down?

I just realized that Clint does not have a Soviet accent as an officer, shouldn't he?

Love this movie

Mitchell or Michael Gant? Check your description

I've always loved that there was a real MiG-31 in the 80s that looked nothing like this lol

I have the movie and watch it over and over. With me right now on the road as a truck driver.

My favorite Clint Eastwood movie.

I was teenager when saw Firefox with Friend, Great Movie, still great 🎬.

This was my very first Clint Eastwood movie 🍿🎥

It's finny because moments after he stole that plane he was like "Wait, the built quality is awful. The technology is decades behind our own, why are we bothering to even steal this thing?"

Vladimir Putin grins watching this.

Why isn’t he even trying to do a Russian accent?

this aircraft would have been a fun cameo replacing the darkstar in top gun maverick.

To think a jet design like this is completely obsolete now - I remember how enthralled we all were at the time. If you loved the movie, the book is even better. There’s an ending in the book that Clint left out of the movie.

Interesting how as it turned out, the Russians suffered a 15 year tech lag even then. All balls and not much brains, both then and now.

I would have thought his Californian accent would have given him away before he jump started the SR71 lookalike Praise Allah

What a....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Another great Clint flick. Saw this with my father in the theater. He loved cold war movies.

When we watched it for the first time, we didn't even laugh, we laughed like horses... The authors have no idea how objects are guarded, and they also have no idea about the system of access to classified information in the USSR. And also - KGB officers could only wear such uniforms inside their own department. In other cases, they were either in civilian clothes or simply in the military uniform of tankers, infantry or pilots. Citizens of the USSR didn't even know what a KGB officer's uniform looked like:))) I lived in the USSR for 50 years... So I know what I'm talking about... And they hijacked a plane once - a MIG-25. A traitor from the Soviet officers hijacked it for two million dollars. He abandoned his family, his elderly parents...

I was born in 1999 but this is one of my favorite movies. I was lucky to have a Das from 1962 who was a huge Clint Eastwood fan. I am as well because of him.

I see Eastwood I press like

"Do you really can fly that thing, Gant?"

In the original script his copilot was going to be an orangutan.
Eventually, cooler heads prevailed.

Then the Arab-Israeli wars happened and everyone found out how sh1tty their planes are.

Clint's Russian accent sucks

Web browser 😂

Looking at that jet, it's eerily similar to today's jets in appearance.

I like this film

"Shoot the tires, Storm troopers!"

A lot of shoe noise in this clip lol. Love this movie

I actually felt i was Clint whenever i slid my bicycle between a street post and a gutter, with but inches to clear my wheel on either side. It was my way of mimicking the way he flew the jet in between two cliffs! I was so thrilled back then each time I pulled it off! Now I feel really dumb having taken the risk! Well I was just 10 that time, so I guess I could cut myself some slack! 😁😁😁 But i really love this movie! 👍👍👍

and someone just stole yer aircraft heads will roll

Lacey from raiders also was in it 👌👌

Firefox was filmed in Austria 😎👍

Been a pilot for 24 years and have flown everything from Airliners to warbirds. Every time I get in front of an airplane that opening synth always go through my mind. Love this movie.

Rolf was also in eagle has landed & raiders 👍👍

Stop this war now

This is the high respect we had for our adversary back then. It's a story about the US stealing technology from Russia. Can you imagine a time when Russia had superior tech? A different world.
