When Doug's father, an Air Force Pilot, is shot down by MiGs belonging to a radical Middle Eastern state, no one seems able to get him out. Doug finds Chappy, an Air Force Colonel who is intrigued by the idea of sending in two fighters piloted by himself and Doug to rescue Doug's father after bombing the MiG base. Their only problems: Borrowing two fighters, getting them from California to the Mediteranean without anyone noticing, and Doug's inability to hit anything unless he has music playing. Then come the minor problems of the state's air defenses.

Doug Masters: Chappy, I got 'em, I got all three of the guns!::Chappy Sinclair: Yeah, but one of them got me.
[Doug is showing off his piloting skills to Chappy]::Doug Masters: How was that?::Chappy Sinclair: I thought you was a pilot, not an astronaut!
Col. Nakesh: Give the American his final meal. After tomorrow, he will not have much of an appetite.
Doug Masters: Anyone ever tell you that you talk too much?::Chappy Sinclair: Yeah, my ex-wife.
Chappy Sinclair: And shut down that music!::Doug Masters: It'll screw up my rhythm.::Chappy Sinclair: If you don't shut it down, I'll screw up somethin' else!
Doug Masters: This is Iron Eagle, he's not being moved, what's the hold-up?::Control tower operator: We are having trouble finding a jeep suitable for your, um, purposes.::Doug Masters: Bullshit, you've got a whole country full of them! [pauses] You just lost a refinery!
Doug Masters: [seeing an armored truck heading right for them] Oh no! Dad, will the Maverick fire if we're still on the ground?::Col. Ted Masters: I don't know, never tried it before, why?::Doug Masters: Because something's about to have us for breakfast!
Col. Nakesh: Now you may deal directly with me now; Colonel Nakir Nakesh!::Doug Masters: And you can deal with me; Doug Masters!
[after destroying an oil refinery]::Doug Masters: Looks like they'll be importing oil this year, Chappy.
[watching Doug buzzing the motorcycle rider]::Reggie: Why don't you just land on the fool and get it over with?::Doug Masters: What's the matter, don't you feel like flying today?::Reggie: Oh flying yes, dying, no.
lyrics by Harry Conklin
Throughout the ages war has brought forth change
A promise for our children's sake
Tyrants and their visions build us walls of fear
The price of these walls are lives at stake
A change of seasons causes wills to bend
A rising of the populations hand
One glance at freedom begins a raging fire
Uniting every race throughout the land
(IRON)
Forged in fire
(EAGLE)
Flying free
It's presence brings forth victory
(IRON)
Forged in fire
(EAGLE)
Flying free
It's power commands respect
IRON EAGLE
Condemned to silence a lifetime full of tears
Regrets forever scarring empty souls
Cursed by a past that no man should have to bear
Evict the madman, regain control
One heart, one mind
We leave the past behind
One heart, one voice
We have made our choice to fly
Up from the ashes springs life anew
Shedding the skin of repression and remorse
Renew the vision of union hand in hand
