The military file on Dr. Tate and his daughter
| Action/Suspense Movie, 1991, 87 minutes Warner Bros/ Alfred Weintraub/Incovent Production Directed by Graham Baker Written by Michael Partridge and Janice Hickey Music by Shirley Walker Produced by Fred and Sandra Weintraub |

Grady is an adept motor cyclist, who manages to draw the attention of an Army
Colonel when he chases the Colonel's daugther. As the Army have just acquired quite
a few Harley Davidsons and nobody there has a clue how to ride them, the Colonel
forces Grady into joining the army as an instructor in 'the art of motorcycling'.
Just after Grady starts to train the potential army motorcyclists the leading authority
in atomic research (Dr. Tate, played by Ed Bishop) and his daughter are taken prisoner
by Franco's troops and taken to a remote castle in Spain, pending Franco's negotiations
with Hitler to turn Dr. Tate over to the Germans. As there is a large motorcycle
race taking place in Bilbao, close to where Dr. Tate is being held, the army sends
Grady and his unit in to go and rescue Dr. Tate and his daughter, using the race
as a cover.
The real heroes of this film are the Harley-Davidsons and it is an enjoyable movie
on the whole, including some excellent music.
Even though Dr. Tate's emprisonment is the key factor of the story, there are only
a very few scenes involving Ed Bishop/Dr. Tate. One of them is really funny ... when
we watch an uncomfortable-looking 'Dr. Tate' ride as a passenger on a Harley - with
his hat on !
