Colonel Braddock, who escaped from a POW camp after 10 years, returns to Vietnam.

Critics' reviews

"Xenophobic, amateurish and extraordinarily dull."

Time Out
"A simple, bullet-riddled, crowd-pleasing action movie"

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"Writer James Bruner and director Joseph Zito have marshalled a formula pic with a particularly jingoistic slant: even though the war is long over, the Commies in Vietnam still deserve the smack of a bullet."

Variety Staff: Variety
"Chuck Norris fans will not be disappointed"

Paul Attanasio: The Washington Post
"Norris' appeal is so quiet and uncomplicated that, although the film exploits the issue of MIAs as thoroughly as any movie has to date, Missing in Action is never offensive"

Bill Cosford: Miami Herald
"As an action picture, Missing In Action works fairly well. Norris is a worthy hero, shooting and kicking Asian enemies right and left, and the film is blessed with production values that make it quite watchable."
