* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: See "RippedFromTheHeadlines" above. Some scenes (like the terrorists asking a stewardess to check the passengers' passports to see which ones were Jewish) actually happened on the RealLife event. What is pure fiction is the titular Delta Force charging in to kick ass and take names (the hostages were eventually released, after a great many days).

'''''The Delta Force''''' is an action film from the year 1986.
After a plane is hijacked by terrorists, the Delta Force lead by Col. Alexander (Lee Marvin in his final film role) and Maj. [=McCoy=] (ChuckNorris) are deployed solve the crisis.
The film got two sequels; ''Film/DeltaForce2TheColombianConnection'' in 1990 and ''Delta Force 3: The Killing Game'' in 1991.
!!This film has the examples of:
* AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: Hundred terrorists charge a schoolhouse thinking their opposition consists only of two Delta Force operators, only to turn tail and run when one operator sets off the explosives that they had planted in the building before the terrorists arrived.
* CoolBike: Scott gets to ride on a dirt bike with dual rocket launchers, machineguns, and rear-facing grenade launchers. Twice.
* ColonelBadass: Colonel Nicholas Alexander, the man who gives Major Scott [=McCoy=] his orders.
* IrishPriest: Father O'Malley.
* JustPlaneWrong: Toward the end of the rescue, a Boeing 707 is shown practically bulletproof in that it takes fire from Kalashnikov rifles as it is taking off only to have the bullets [[BulletSparks apparently glance off its metal skin]]. In real life, such a plane's relatively thin aluminum skin would be perforated and the plane rendered unsafe or unable to fly. There's also the issue of supposedly USAF C-130s having Israeli Air Force numbers (since the C-130s were leased from the Israeli military for the film), but that issue is quite minor and easily overlooked compared to the [[ImmuneToBullets Bulletproof Boeing]].
