Iron Eagle is a 1986 action film directed by Sidney J. Furie, who co-wrote the screenplay with Kevin Alyn Elders, and starring Louis Gossett Jr., Jason Gedrick, David Suchet and Tim Thomerson. It is the first installment of the Iron Eagle film series and was followed by three sequels: Iron Eagle II, Aces: Iron Eagle III and Iron Eagle on the Attack, with Gossett being the only actor to appear in all four films.

Production

According to writer/director Sidney J. Furie, the film's working title was Junior Eagle. Furie and co-writer Kevin Alyn Elders were inspired by the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Elders had been production supervisor on Furie's Purple Hearts (1984) and the two got to talking about doing a film that was "the kind of movie we used to sneak in to see on Saturday afternoons."

Although F-16s are featured in the movie poster, the United States Air Force has a long-standing policy about not cooperating on any film involving the theft of an aircraft. Consequently, the filmmakers turned to the Israeli Air Force for the necessary aerial sequences. The filming in Israel took six weeks, with the flight sequences choreographed by Jim Gavin, whose earlier works include Blue Thunder.

Filming took place at both California and Israeli locales. To simulate the above-ground facilities of a typical USAF base, a combination of hangars and barracks at Camarillo and the Planes of Fame Air Museum at Chino, California were employed. Most Israeli airbases are situated in underground hangars, maintenance shops and crew quarters. Filming in Israel took six weeks in and around "regular Israeli training missions".
