646f9e108c A weapons expert is reluctantly sent on a mission to a middle-east warzone to locate a lost nuclear warhead and dismantle it before it falls into the wrong hands. But before he can complete his work, he is taken prisoner and thrust into the conflict, and finds himself looking out for more than just the warhead.
Something is awry with this movie, so that it doesn't rate very high in my book. But what is it about "Warhead" (aka, "Prisoner in the Middle") that earns it no better than 4 stars? It has a good amount of war-type action. There's an air of suspense about what will happen next. The cast mostly seem to fit. And, although the plot is really wild, it could be acceptablea Hollywood twist. I say, 'could,' because everything else would have to be quite good about the film. But it isn't. And, it isn't just one thing, but lots of smaller pieces that seem out of whack. Let's start with the wild plot – a U.S. Air Force bomber has mechanical problems flying above Jordan and accidentally drops a nuclear warhead. So, someone pushed a bomb door and release button accidentally. OK, but not before someone else put a parachute on the bomb? Or do we now drop all our bombs by parachute – so they don't hit too hard? But,I said, we could accept all the wild background if everything else fell into place. But it doesn't.<br/><br/>David Janssen's roleU.S. Air Force Colonel Tony Stevens doesn't quite seem to fit. Even officers in the U.S. Air Force of that time did not grow full heads of wavy hair with long combed back sideburns. He lookedthough he came right out of civilian life, or off the streets of Hollywood or New York. When his secret mission starts, we see him floating in the sky under a full military parachute, then standing on the ground and wrapping his chute to hide it. I know we're not supposed to think too much about the details left out of movies, but this scene with no dialog raised some questions in my mind. What airport in Israel did he take off from? Or what air base was there where he wouldn't have been noticed? What type of airplane could have gone unnoticed and flown just a few miles inside Jordanian territory to drop a parachutist? <br/><br/>So, next we see him in desert terrain, afoot on a one-man mission, at least some miles outside friendly Israeli territory, and he isn't wearing a hat to protect him from the sun. He doesn't have at least a canteen of water, a compass or any apparent survival gear. Yet he does have an electronic device to guide him to the bomb and a satchel with papers on the bomb that he will need to disarm the bomb and remove the detonator. But wait, he's still in his tan tourist suit – slacks and travel shirt-jacket that he wore in the opening scene near Jerusalem's Western Wall. And not a hair of his head is out of place. Throughout the whole film, Janssen seemed out of place. Had he ruffled his hair a bit, wore boots and a hat, and acted with a little intensity, he would have been much more believable. <br/><br/>There were many other goofs in this film that lowered it to a class below "B" level of movies.
Though this movie was made nearly 30 years ago, its main theme is still very relevant with the current Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. With the current threat of nuclear warfare in that region, the scenario in this movie could become a reality though we hope that will not happen. What made this movie especially delightful to me was the background music cues. For those of us who are "Rat Patrol" TV series fans, you will quickly recognize that the music used in this movie were taken from the recorded music cues from "The Rat Patrol", music composed by the outstanding TV composer Dominic Frontiere, even though his name is not credited in the end credits. Overall a good movie with plenty of action.
