What happens

Iron Eagle II (also titled Iron Eagle II: The Battle Beyond the Flag) is a 1988 action film directed by Sidney J. Furie and written by Furie and Kevin Alyn Elders. A sequel to the 1986 film Iron Eagle, it is the second installment of the Iron Eagle film series, with Louis Gossett Jr. reprising his role as Charles "Chappy" Sinclair, alongside newcomers Mark Humphrey, Stuart Margolin, Maury Chaykin, Alan Scarfe, Colm Feore and Clark Johnson. An uncredited Jason Gedrick also returns as ace pilot Doug Masters in the film's opening scene. Like its predecessor, Iron Eagle II received negative reviews. It did not fare well at the box-office, with earnings of $10.5 million. It was nominated for three Genie Awards (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Sound Editing and Best Overall Sound). It was followed by Aces: Iron Eagle III in 1992. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
