Plot Summary
Selected for their courage, skill and sheer nerve, daring pilots Chief Warrant Officer II Jake Preston (Nicolas Cage) and Chief Warrant Officer II Billie Lee Guthrie (Sean Young) police the sky as part of an elite army helicopter task force. Aerial avengers who hover, dive and dodge near the brink of death everyday, they fight their air battles with a unique weapon: the high-tech Apache helicopter -- the army's most advanced flying fighting machine. Just how far the choppers and their crew can go is put to the test when the Apache task force is assigned to complete a secret mission in Latin America. Infiltrating hostile territory to do combat with an international enemy, the seemingly fearless flyers soon discover they are fighting a desperate war both on the ground and in the sky.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Fire Birds has one director (David Green), two writers (Nick Thiel and Paul F. Edwards) and many laughs, all of them unintentional.
Rotten: The action here is more like something you'd expect to pop a quarter in a machine for.
Rotten: Fire Birds resembles a morale booster project leftover from the Reagan era.
Rotten: Lean, mean, clean and empty-hearted, Fire Birds is a video-game recruiting poster with a bomb ticking inside--a bomb that never goes off.
Customer Reviews
Love this movie
All I can say is top gun meets the army . Has all y want in a movie. Military hardware comedy actions and a love story
Fun, but cheesy
A typical Top Gun-like movie with the fun of helicopters and similar antics. Tons of fun though!
