Music video

In the video, directed by David Mallet [ [http://www.mvdbase.com/video.php?id=612 mvdbase.com - AC/DC - "Heatseeker" ] ] , Angus Young explodes from a life-sized television set. He throws his hat, and it lands on a switch, causing it to flip. An intercontinental ballistic missile is launched, and on the screen is film footage of the Strategic Air Command in the 1950s,1960s and 1970s. The missile becomes a cruise missile, and travels across the world, whereupon it finally crashes into the Opera House in Sydney, during an AC/DC concert. Angus explodes out of the giant missile's warhead and does a guitar solo. At the end, Angus heads back into the missile's nose cone and leaves.
