When a diamond thief in the Pacific Northwest heads for the Canadian border with Sarah, a trail guide, as his hostage, it's up to aging, African-American Warren Stantin and the much younger, white John Knox to capture the criminal and bring the hostage back alive. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
Deadly Pursuit is a standard adventure/crime drama built on an effective buddy motif and attractive mountain locations. It could have done more with the characters and it’s far from having the spectacle of Cliffhanger, but it’s okay as a pleasant, relaxing reminder of the 1980s.
