Bewertung von cook-gareth
Inaudible dialogue made for a frustratingly irritating movie. The soundtrack "music" is terrible and WAY TOO LOUD.
"On Wings of Eagles" was a 1983 non-fiction book by Ken Follett.
The story, according to Follett, is not fictionalized or a 'non-fiction novel' because it's based on a true event. It's based on the rescue of two Electronic Data Systems employees, Paul Chiapparone and Bill Gaylord from prison in Tehran. A team from EDS led by retired United States Army Special Forces Col. Arthur D. Simons (best known for leading the Son Tây raid in Viet Nam) carried out the rescue. Texas businessman Henry Ross Perot Jr. initiated (and took part in) the rescue.
This is an amazing movie, well worth watching to see the Russian side of the story.
The sound of Leonov's breathing was recorded, and later looped into the soundtrack of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
