Sylvester Stallone is one of the biggest action movie stars on the planet and has an astounding career playing brave heroes, skilled assassins, and even traumatized veterans. While Stallone gained his breakout role as the underdog fighter Rocky Balboa in his famous sports franchise, following this success, he carved out another career as a true action movie star chasing bad guys and bringing crooks to justice. Spurred by his longstanding rivalry with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone has continually pushed himself toward more over-the-top, chaotic, and wildly entertaining action movie releases.

Many of Stallones best films were in the action movie genre, as he excelled in the Rambo franchise and portrayed countless heroes across prison movies, thrillers, sci-fi films, and more. With an often underappreciated skill for portraying tough guy characters as well as layered and noble lawmen, Stallone has proved his skills by acting opposite everyone from Antonio Banderas to Robert De Niro.

The 1980 Broadway production was directed by Robert Allan Ackerman, scenery by Santo Loquasto, costumes by Robert Wojewodski, lighting by Arden Fingerhut, and music by Stanley Silverman. The show featured Richard Gere as Max, David Marshall Grant as Rudy,James Remar as Wolf, Michael Gross as Greta, George Hall as Uncle Freddie, Bryan E. Clark as Officer, David Dukes as Horst, Ron Randell as Captain, and the Guards were Kai Wulff, Philip Kraus, and John Snyder. Check out a photo of the marquee below...

Firefox: High-flying patriotic action!

Strap yourself in and get ready for the ride of your life. Tonight's movie is the 1982 Cold War classic produced, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, Firefox.

When the Soviet Union makes a leap ahead in the arms race by developing a thought-controlled fighter jet that is invisible to radar and capable of delivering a nuclear payload, the U.S. and the U.K. respond by hatching a plot to steal the prototype aircraft, code named "Firefox." Former U.S. Air Force Major Mitchell Gant (Eastwood) is chosen for the job because of his experience as a pilot during the Vietnam War and because of his command of the Russian language. But, even if Gant manages to outwit the Kgb and steal the prototype aircraft, he will still have to contend with the prototype's twin and its equally-skilled Soviet pilot (Kai Wulff).
