Missing In Action

“Missing In Action” — Original Movie Artwork by Stan Watts

This stunning illustration was originally created by Stan Watts as key promotional artwork for the action film Missing In Action. Painted during the height of the 1980s action-movie era, this piece embodies the explosive, high-energy visual style that defined the genre.

Set against a smoky battlefield with dramatic lighting, the artwork features a commanding hero in mid-stride, weapon in hand, with a helicopter illuminated behind him. Stan’s signature realism—seen in the atmosphere, the textures, and the cinematic intensity—made this artwork a memorable part of the film’s marketing legacy.

Fun Fact: Stan Watts had Chuck Norris personally sign the original artwork during a visit to Cannon Films. After completing this piece, Stan went on to illustrate artwork for two more Chuck Norris films: Missing in Action 2 and Invasion U.S.A. — cementing his place in the visual legacy of 80s action cinema.

Now available as a premium, gallery-quality print, this collector’s piece is perfect for fans of classic action cinema, vintage movie art, and admirers of Stan Watts’ bold illustration style.
