All-out war between the United States and an Asian country is averted when the two sides agree to settle their differences by each choosing a single soldier as champion and having the two men fight to the death on an isolated island.
This film has not been released commercially onto any Home Video format. A badly worn 16mm print of this is on youtube, but here's a copy taken from a Betamax recording from GTV-9 Australia. This broadcast is from The 13th of July 1983, thus the Film has only had 13 years to degrade before putting it onto another format, leaving lovely Greens and Blues, which the 16mm print is sorely missing.
Gallery, a U.S. commando, and Yuro, an enemy commando, are sent to a no man's Pacific jungle island to capture a crashed U.S. space satellite. Whoever survives, wins. Their nations have agreed to this to avoid war, but they cheat.
Really liked the performances of Darrin Gavin and Mako in this made for TV movie. A very good cast for a TV movie. Also fun to see a very young Sam Elliott playing a military fanatic.
