This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Masterful Cinema

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Yes, they all talk about the beautiful terrorist but Amanda Wyss is really the scene stealer in this otherwise BAD MOVIE. ++++ SPOILER ALERT ++++ Questions that merit an answer: 1) How can you believe they would use an SR71 carrying four people in a "cargo compartment" where all an SR71 has in that section of its body is a huge fuel tank? 2) How come everyone in the plane did not die horribly poisoned with the "biological weapon"? 3) How is it possible that Dudikoff, who did not know how to fly a plane, manages to land a 747 so smoothly and smack in the middle of the runway without any kind of coaching? For that matter, how is it possible that after going down to 10,000 ft because of decompression the plane was PERFECTLY aligned with the runway (how convenient) and Dudikoff only had to apply the brakes? For God's sakes, how did he know where the brakes were? 4) Don't people know that explosive decompression does not last forever - only while pressure equalizes inside and outside the plane - but the characters in this movie had to hold on for dear life even after a good 10 minutes had passed since the door had been opened...? And so on and so forth - if you took the time to read my comment forget about the movie (or watch it to catch a sight of beautiful Amanda Wyss...)

Well! I'm sorry to disagree entirely with everyone else here since I enjoyed this film tremendously. So, it's not original - what of it! That doesn't stop me enjoying 90 minutes of pure escapism. Michael Dudikoff is always well worth watching and many of his movies are great fun, indeed. This one is one of his best and I am delighted to have now bought it on VHS so that I can watch it many times, which I plan on doing.I do feel sorry for everyone else who has seen and not enjoyed this film - perhaps they simply cannot let themselves go and enjoy the film for what it is, not what they think it ought to have been. Maybe I am too simplistic for their tastes - in that case I'm glad I am. There must be somebody else out there somewhere who, like me, has enjoyed this film!

The only reason I stayed up late one night to watch this was because Gina Mari was in it. However after seeing the first few minutes of the film I was presently surprised. Micheal Dudikoff always makes a good action hero, and excelled himself this time around. Also Richard Norton was in "over the top" form as the leader of a gang of mercanaries which includes the beautiful Gina Mari. The plot involves Norton's gang taking control of a plane which has one of the Presidents Interns or something like that on board. I'm sure you can work the rest out for yourself, it's basically a copy of Executive Desicion. Anyway if you like action films this one is probably for you, I do and must say I enjoyed it very much. Thanks to all involved!!

I don't remember seeing a movie that used so much elements of other films. The whole plot is nothing else than a mix of "Executive Decision" and "The Rock". And if you watch carefully (show me someone who is able to do so) you will recognize various other scenes who are copied from blockbusters.Although the story is everything else than new it's still fun to watch this B-picture. Dudikoff and Norton are such terrible actors, you can't stop laughing. And don't forget these cheap action sequences. So if you don't mind a lousy story, cheesy acting and horrible action this is the right thing for you.
