War. Action
Colonel Braddock, who escaped from a POW camp after 10 years, returns to Vietnam. He attempts to track down the location of a POW camp and rescue the prisoners to prove that several MIAs are still alive and being held captive. He is prompted to attempt his mission because of Government denials about the possibilities of existing POWs.

"A simple, bullet-riddled, crowd-pleasing action movie" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"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." | NEU |

"Chuck Norris fans will not be disappointed" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"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" | NEU |

United States |
TV Guide | "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." | POS |
United Kingdom |
Time Out | "Xenophobic, amateurish and extraordinarily dull." | NEG |
