The Rad Revival House explores the classic 1981 anti-terrorism thriller, "Nighthawks"!

A very early action vehicle for star Sylvester Stallone, "Nighthawks" takes a more thought-provoking, analytical look at the war on terror, with a boots-on-the-ground approach on how law enforcement officials would realistically pursue and apprehend violent international terrorists. Stallone is Deke DaSilva, a thoughtful, inquisitive officer of the New York Police Department "Decoy Squad" who is recruited by Interpol to seek and destroy a deadly terrorist, nicknamed "Wulfgar" who is on the loose with major plans to kill thousands of innocent civilians in the Big Apple.

The film costars Billy Dee Williams as Deke's tough partner Matt Fox, and, making his stunning Hollywood debut, soon-to-be Dutch superstar Rutger Hauer as the elusive, maniacal Wulfgar.
