The Delta Force

The Delta Force (1986) is a Cannon Films action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Menahem Golan and headlined by Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin. Also on screen: Robert Forster, George Kennedy, Martin Balsam, Robert Vaughn, and Shelley Winters.

A passenger jet flying from Athens to Rome gets hijacked by Lebanese militants who force the pilot to land in Beirut. The terrorists begin separating passengers — singling out military personnel and Jewish travelers. Washington sends Colonel Alexander and Major McCoy with their elite commando unit instead of a negotiating team. The mission starts in Beirut and doesn't stop there: some hostages get moved to Tehran, and the clock starts cutting into the team's margin.

Golan drew on the 1985 TWA hijacking — a real standoff that ran across global headlines for seventeen days — and wrapped it in Cannon's signature excess: rocket motorcycles, close-range explosions, and no ambiguity about who wins. Stream The Delta Force (1986) in full on iFILM.
