Laser Mission is a 1989 action movie starring Brandon Lee and Ernest Borgnine. The film was also released under the title Soldier of Fortune.

Plot

The plot concerns a mercenary named Michael Gold (Lee) who is sent to convince Dr. Braun (Borgnine), a Laser specialist, to defect to the United States before the KGB acquire him and use both his talent and a stolen diamond to create a nuclear weapon. Dr. Braun is captured by the KGB and Gold is sent on a mission to rescue both him and the diamond. He has to enlist the help of Dr. Braun's daughter Alissa (Debi Monahan), who he eventually falls for. The pair confront Col. Kalishnakov (Graham Clarke), who they subdue by hitting him with a truck in the climax of this story.

Despite the name of the movie, there are not that many scenes in the movie depicting lasers. At least two scenes feature lasers, as Michael Gold sets off a laser guided motion detector. Laser Mission has been released by its publisher into the Public Domain.^[1]^{[Citation Needed]}
