"Get off my plane..."
Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman star in Air Force One an action packed movie
directed by Wolfgang Petersen.
The President of the United States has just helped Russia capture the
Khazakstan dictator, General Radek, who was planning to rebuild the former
Soviet Union. He is now is custody and President James Marshall has
announced that he will not negotiate with terrorists. Now, on his return
flight home, Radek loyalists board Air Force One and with the help of a
traitor Secret Service agent, hijack the President's plane. Quickly, the
agents on board tell President Marshall to get in the escape pod, which is
released, just as the terrorists get to that area. Now, the terrorists
contact Vice President Kathryn Bennett (Glenn Close) at the White House
and attempt to force her to give in to their demands, who first wants to
make sure of the President's safety. Ivan Korshunov (Oldman) and the rest
of the terrorists become impatient and begin executing hostages. The
President's wife and daughter are still on the plane, the terrorists have
Air Force One's weapons, and the Vice President has just learned that the
President's escape pod was found empty...
Air Force One is full of action, with a President that is extremely
skilled in military moves and tactics, and everyone in the movie does
anything to survive. I've seen Air Force One many times and the action is
what keeps me watching it. When you see this movie, you'll love it too.
