A custom image of Clint Eastwood in Firefox
The Big Picture Perhaps more than any other actor, Clint Eastwood has a film for almost every genre, even a musical, in a career that has discernible stages. He's been the cop that doesn't follow the rules, a bare-knuckle brawling truck driver with a pet orangutan, even a spirit of vengeance in High Plains Drifter, a film that marked a turning point in his career.
They bring former United States Air Force Major Mitchell Gant , a Vietnam War vet and former prisoner of war, on board to infiltrate the Soviet Union — aided by his ability to speak and think in Russian — and a handful of Soviet dissidents.

Before Gant knows it, Voskov has closed the gap and engages him in a dogfight.
