Firefox is a 1982 American action techno-thriller film produced, directed by, and starring Clint Eastwood. The cast also includes Freddie Jones, Kenneth Colley, Warren Clarke, and Nigel Hawthorne. Based on the 1977 novel of the same name by Craig Thomas, Firefox is the only film appearance of Thomas' character Mitchell Gant. The film recounts Gant's mission to secretly enter the Soviet Union, hijack a cutting-edge fighter plane, and fly the aircraft back into American hands.

Plot

A joint British-American plan is devised to steal a highly advanced Soviet fighter aircraft—the MiG-31, NATO code name "Firefox"—which is capable of Mach 6 hypersonic flight, is invisible to radar, and carries weapons controlled by thought. Retired U.S. Air Force Major Mitchell Gant, an experienced pilot, Vietnam veteran, ex-member of the aggressor squadron, and former prisoner of war, is deemed well-suited for the task. Air Force Captain Buckholz makes an unannounced helicopter trip to Gant's home in Alaska and explains the mission.
