Comment
The US president's plane is hijacked and held hostage, but Harrison Ford, practically, single handed takes on the bad guys, whilst Glenn Close as the vice-president oragnises a rescue. Typical American gung-ho movie with a good performance from Harrison Ford, doing what he does well as the action hero, but it does not use Glenn Close's skills . The plot is predictable, however it is well executed, and good for this type of film.
