Review of Air Force One (1997) by Kevin V — 05 May 2015

A very great, thrilling political and hijacking action movie.. With great performances by Glenn Close, Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman.. With U.S. President James Marshall as a previous Vietnam hero, who struggles to secure the hostages himself and to overpower the hijackers.

. Finally, 32 of the hostages made it to safety by use of emergency chutes.. Then, the president is caught and taken hostage by the hijackers, where he finally overpowers the remaining men and their leader Korshunov (Oldman), and throws the latter off the chute room from the plane.

. They retake control of Air Force One and get into a fight with Kazakstan MiGs, from which three are quickly taken out by security F-15's, then the remaining MiGs flee.. Air Force One suffers from severe damage and is unable to land.

After a few hours, the First Family and the wounded Chief of Staff are rescued by a Liberty 24 Plane, as Air Force One's engines fell out and then crashes into the Caspian Sea.. Very thrilling and fearing action fight scenes and the rescue scene, and the story behind the hijacking make this action thriller a great piece of work.

I give an 8.
