Under Fire is a 1983 political/romantic drama directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Nick Nolte, Joanna Cassidy, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, and Jean-Louis Trintignant.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Set during the Nicaraguan Civil War in the 1970's, the film follows Russell (Nolte), a photojournalist, Claire (Cassidy), a radio reporter, and Alex (Hackman), a TV reporter, who are sent to cover the war. The rebels against the Somoza government are led by someone named Rafael, who is never seen but whose face is shown everywhere. Russell wants to get a picture of Rafael because because he thinks it's a good story, but it turns out things are a lot more complicated than that. Also, while Alex and Claire were once married, they've now split up, and she and Russell end up falling in love with each other.Not to be confused with the video game, this was one of a number of movies in the 1980's about various conflicts around the globe from the point of view of the reporters covering them, such as The Year of Living Dangerously, The Killing Fields, and Salvador.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Under Fire / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Somoza, who honestly believes he's doing good for the people in his country (instead of repressing them), and is perfectly charming during his interview with Claire. | |

By "No", I Mean "Yes": When Claire and Russell ask Jazy if he's a spy, Jazy initially denies this, claiming he's just a businessman, but in the course of a long speech he makes to them, he admits yes, he is a spy. | |
