The Delta Force (1986)

1985. Five years after the botched attempt to rescue American hostages in Tehran, Colonel Nick Alexander's elite Delta Force unit is called in to handle a volatile situation: stop armed-to-the-teeth terrorists who have hijacked American Travel Ways Flight 282. As the violent revolutionaries force the captain to fly the crammed-with-people Boeing 707 to Beirut, seasoned deputy commander Major Scott McCoy and his highly trained commandos embark on a suicide mission to rescue the passengers. This time, the men are determined to give the enemy hell and come home in one piece. But this is a dangerous, white-knuckle race against time. Can McCoy's super-soldiers do the impossible and avenge the honour of the United States?
