About The Firing Line
An American military advisor becomes disillusioned by the brutality and corruption of the Central American government which hired him. When his shift in sympathies becomes known, he's arrested and tortured but soon escapes, along with a beautiful American woman, in order to join the rebels.
Directed by Jun Gallardo, The Firing Line leans on a strong ensemble — Reb Brown, Shannon Tweed, Kahlena Marie — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1988.
