I'm posing this question here because if you're like me, you grew up in the 80's watching films like Iron Eagle, Red Dawn, Navy Seals, Toy Soldiers (not an 80's film but close enough and you get the picture.)
Anyway, I seem to remember a film growing up that dealt with a bunch of teens that had to go in to a foreign country and save their family from some army/terrorists.
I don't remember anything else about the film. I remember it had an Iron Eagle/Red Dawn vibe to it. Can't think of the name of it for the life of me.
Thanks.

Where'd you go? Try the link near the bottom of the thread for "The Rescue."
That's probably the movie you were remembering.

My favorite:
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

"The Rescue (1988)" is most likely the movie the OP is talking about but your link doesn't work for some reason.
The correct link is:

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

If it contained a high-tech boat, then you might mean The Rescue

John Cusack was in a movie where his girlfriend's family was kidnapped/held hostage and he had to go and rescue them. It was called Hot Pursuit.

Try toy soldiers, the 1984 version. It had Jason Miller in it from The Exorcist
