Black Eagle

When a crucial U.S. code, codenamed "Black Eagle," is stolen in an African country, former CIA operative Ken Tani is brought back into action. Partnering with a local contact, Tani must race against time to recover the stolen item before it falls into the wrong hands. The mission becomes complicated by the involvement of a ruthless mercenary and the political instability of the region.

Black Eagle was largely met with negative reviews from critics, with many finding its plot predictable and its action sequences uninspired. While it had some appeal for martial arts fans due to its star, Sho Kosugi, it failed to gain significant traction with mainstream audiences or critics.
