When rogue stealth-fighter pilot Vic Deakins deliberately drops off the radar while on maneuvers, the Air Force ends up with two stolen nuclear warheads -- and Deakins's co-pilot, Riley Hale, is the military's only hope for getting them back. Traversing the deserted canyons of Utah, Hale teams with park ranger Terry Carmichael to put Deakins back in his box.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Broken Arrow (1996) is my personal favorite John Woo underrated action film that I love to death. John Travolta and Christian Slater are in their finest roles in this breathtaking John Woo rollercoaster action movie. This is "Die Hard" in the desert and I absolutely enjoy this movie so much. It has incredible music score theme from Hans Zimmer. It is wonderfully directed by John Woo, it has a wonderful pacing and It has a great paced on to a fight in the finale. I enjoy this movie MILES more than Face/Off the most overrated John Woo film. Broken Arrow is my action movie from the 90's that I watch constantly. The stunt work in here is very dangerous and all practical real, for example Christian Slater's character is right above the ground shooting the helicopter and you see the helicopter hops right over him and Samantha Mathis one in the same shoot. The helicopter almost cut Samantha Mathis legs if Christian Slater wouldn't pulled he away she would have been almost cut, that stunt was for real and it was real dangerous. This is my movie and I like practical effects and stunts that are done for real. Christian Slater run's while John Travolta and Howie Long are trying to run over him with a army jeep Am General HMMWV M1043 and Christian Slater jumps on the back of the jeep and John Travolta hit's the back of the jeep HMMWV M1043 in front that army jeep. That stunt was real and it was really dangerous. Christian Slater did his own stunts. No CGI or fancy editing that was all done for real a lot of dangerous stunts in this. It is an adrenaline rush and an underrated film. No one talks about it today. I think it is the most underrated in the action genre. John Travolta in my opinion is a finest actor I love his work; I love his movies he is my favorite actor. This was the second US movie that John Woo directed and yes it was really good done action movie. I love John Travolta in this movie which I think he did one of his best acting performances of his life. This is not only John Woo favorite film of mine but is also Christian Slater's favorite film. I absolutely love his character Capt. Riley Hale. I love the finale, I love the sequence on a train where Hale cut's the helicopter power line and when a pilot try's to fly off and Deakins seas gas spiting on a floor and the pilot starts the chopper and Deakins yelles "Cut the power" and the pilot shows such a weird look and when he pushes the button, the chopper blows up, killing the bad guys to pieces. I love the train sequences. I love how Christian Slater kills on a train one of the bad guys, he stands right before Terry and he jumps grabs the gun and shoots the bad guy right between her legs. The guns are used well in this movie and you will see them a lot. The explosions are fantastic in this movie. No CGI no shaky cam this is perfect underrated action movie that I love to death!10/10 I love it to death! I love this movie to death. I own the Blu-ray disc, btw this was very hard and difficult to get on Blu-ray. Hard Target was easy this movie wasn't easy to get. John Woo, John Travolta and Christian Slater all did a wonderful job.

Great action movie, having seen it many times before it never gets tiresome. Yes... there are quite a few cheesy lines and over the top scenes but thats what you expect from a 90's action film. 3 choppers, a stealth bomber, a train, a copper mine and countless villains destroyed equals an action packed 100 minutes. Slater is a great actor and Travolta plays the villain well. If you like action, cheese and explosions, then this is definitely the film for you.

If John Travolta never did Pulp Fiction, we wouldn't have such greats as this action masterpiece. I have to thank John Woo for directing this movies, because it has just blow me away. Travolta as a bad guy is just the best thing that could have happen in this movie. He played his role perfectly and I cant picture as a good in this film. This action flick has every thing you want: Explosions, Guns, boxing, Jets, bombs, it has everything basically. The intro is brilliant and the ending is brilliant, just because of John Travolta. You can tell straight away that John Travolta could get his arm chopped of and he wouldn't give a too much f**** and he would probably say its a good thing it happened. Basically what I am trying to say, is his character is cocky and doesn't take any crap from anyone. I just love this film. 10/10 any day.

Plot: Terrorists steal nuclear warheads from the U.S. military but don't count on a pilot and park ranger spoiling their plans.This is another movie that I don't get why people hate on it. This is the movie that introduced me to John Woo and got me into his filmography. Travolta is having a lot of fun as Deakins, Slater is very good as Hale who tries to stop Travolta from detonating the nuclear weapons. The supporting cast does a good job balancing the tone of the film with Samantha Mathis, Delroy Lindo, and Howie Long being the standouts. This has the best action of any of the John Woo films(yes, this beats Face/Off in my opinion). Woo is a master of action and uses it extremely well. This film also has one of my favorite action scores of all time by Hans Zimmer who captures the tone of the film beautifully.I personally feel this deserves the attention that Face/Off gets because this is more fun, but that's my opinion. If you've never seen this film I strongly recommend watching this if you want to watch a good popcorn flick.
