The Confused Breakfast

Iron Eagle (1986)

Picture this- your dad is captured by a fake country. You have never flown an F-16 by yourself before. Using a rag-tag group of friends, all under the age of 18, you figure out how to rescue him on your own, while demonstrating how vulnerable US Air Force bases are and committing serious war crimes deserving of jail time in multiple countries. None of it possible without the cassette player strapped to your knee blasting "One Vision" by Queen.

It's something only 80s kids can believe.
