In one mission where the Wardogs squadron attempt to rescue POW's from a Yuktobanian camp, Osean Air Defense Force pilot Captain Kei "Edge" Nagase gets shot down by a SAM. One rescue helicopter involved in the mission attempted to retrieve her, but it crashed through the snowstorm. Nagase's ordeal is possibly influenced by the central plot of the movie.
Bat-21 follows a similar plot. There, Gene Hackman played the Role of the hunted Pilot who was also downed by a surface to air missile over enemy territory and travelled several days until he was rescued..
