Iron Eagle was an 1986 US/Canadian action film, essentially a
knockoff of the same year's very successful Top Gun, only
with a teenage-wish-fulfillment angle.

The plot has an American pilot shot down over an unfriendly Middle Eastern
country (unnamed, but based on Libya) and held hostage.
Despairing of a diplomatic solution, the aviator's son steals
a U.S. fighter jet and flies it on a bombing spree to try and extort his
release. The flag of the unnamed country appears a lot, and is shown once very
clearly in the office of the film's main heavy (played by
Poirot's David Suchet): red with a white disc, narrowly bordered in
white and black, containing a second, smaller black disc — shifted
upwards — itself containing an inscribed white star and with a pair of
crossed black-outlined scimitars beneath it. Some of my details might be off
— the star may have been the "fat" kind, and the
scimitars more machete-like (and I don't remember which one lay on
top).

This flag design reminds more of Tunisia, which
indeed borders Lybia.
