6.0 / 10 average from 1 rated reviews

First an unmanned spy drone ends up in American air space and then U.S. operatives in China are killed trying to help a teen prodigy defect. Then it appears the boy might be the brains behind the spy tech. While Phoenix Force attempts to bring the teenage scientist back to the U.S. without triggering retribution from the Chinese government, Able Team's mission in Alaska to recover the drone becomes a matter of international security. Because the good guys aren't the only ones bent on retrieval. The spies are covering their trail... with lethal efficiency.

An above-average adventure that has Phoenix and Able battling rogue Chinese terrorists and North Korean agents. Both teams got equal time, but Phoenix got most of the action as they attempt to rescue the prodigy of the title and bring him out of China. Able meanwhile has to protect a scientist from assassination while trying to hunt down a cell of Korean agents who think the U.S. is going to blame them for a drone shootdown. Phoenix's action was crisp, and Able had their hands full. The finale had the teams coming together for a quick wipeout, plus a surprise finish to nail the mastermind behind the prodigy plot.
