Best Defense

(1984)Directed by Willard Huyck94 min · RComedy, War
“Unfortunately, they're both on our side.”

Wylie (Dudley Moore), an engineer on a new missile guidance system, can't get the bugs out of it before the Army wants it tested. Landry (Eddie Murphy), the officer who has to use it, takes the tank into Kuwait with Wylie's flaws still inside. Willard Huyck sets a clock running on both men, and a soldier's life rides on a fault no one has fixed.
