Commando is a 1985 American action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vernon Wells, Rae Dawn Chong, Alyssa Milano, Bill Duke, Dan Hedaya and James Olson. It was directed by Mark L. Lester and shot on location in and around Los Angeles, California.
The film was nominated for a Saturn Award in 1986 for Best Special Effects but lost to James Cameron's Aliens, another movie with music provided by James Horner from Commando. A critical success and commercial hit, Commando is the 7th highest grossing movie of 1985 worldwide.
Retired Delta Operative Colonel John Matrix is informed by his former superior Major General Franklin Kirby that all the other members of his unit have been killed by unknown mercenaries. Despite being given protection, the mercenaries attack Matrix’s secluded mountain home, kill Kirby’s men and kidnap Matrix’s young daughter Jenny. Matrix desperately gives chase in his truck, but finds the brakes have been tampered with and eventually loses control, crashing the vehicle. He is then cornered by a group of thugs who eventually overpower him, and he is shot with a tranquilizer gun by his former colleague Bennett, who was believed to have been assassinated as well.
