On Wings Of Eagles

A soaring tale of courage, inspired by true events.

Burt Lancaster and Richard Crenna star in On Wings Of Eagles, a gripping television miniseries of author Ken Follett's bestselling book. In 1978, when two American executives are arrested and held captive in Iran, magnate H. Ross Perot (Crenna) employs a daring new strategy to secure their rescue. Assembling a team led by retired Colonel Arthur D. Simons (Lancaster), Perot launches a bold campaign to extract his captured employees…but will his unsanctioned operation result in the safe return of its targets, or in disaster?

Also starring Paul Le Mat and directed by Andrew V McLaglen (The Wild Geese), On Wings Of Eagles is a powerful and rousing real-life adventure that demonstrates the unceasing ability of freedom to take flight.
