What's Love Got to Do With It? is the filmed biography of R&B/pop singer Tina Turner (Angela Bassett), documenting her efforts to break away from her abusive husband Ike (Laurence Fishburne). After a few scenes detailing Tina's life as a young singer in Nutbush, TN, she's discovered by Ike Turner, an already established songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. Ike takes Tina under his wing and makes her a star, but her fame makes him jealous and abusive, and she has to struggle to break free of his domination. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

Joining Saunders (Vic Morrow) on a mission to destroy a German radar installation are two new men: Sgt. Rawlings (H.M. Wynant), a radar expert, and Marchand (Mark Richman), an important member of the French resistance. Everyone's role in the mission is clearly defined: Marchand is to guide the two Americans to the installation, and Saunders and Rawlings are to sabotage the place. But there's a slight hitch: Marchand isn't the real Marchand at all, but instead a Nazi lieutenant in disguise. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
