Supreme Sanction is a 1999 action crime thriller film directed by John Terlesky and starring Michael Madsen, Kristy Swanson, and David Dukes. The film premiered on HBO on April 9, 1999.[1] It uses stock footage from a 1998 film Airborne.
A secret government unit, Section Alpha, leads an enemy pilot to attack army helicopters during a patrol, killing a female soldier. A television reporter investigates to uncover the truth but the unit wants him killed too, so it sends a skilled assassin. She deliberately misfires a shot when she sees him with his daughter, making her Alpha's next target, as she recalls the fatal hits on a general who has known all about the attack. After saving his life, she joins him to fight back.
