But the really big news that scarcely brooked a headline was China's formal induction into the World Trade Organization.

The movie traces the one day that Harris spends with a trainee, Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke), and Hoyt’s attempts to prove to Harris that he has what it takes to make it in the squadron.
