Product Description

The fate of the nation rests on the courage of one man. Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman star in two-time Oscar(r) nominee Wolfgang Petersen's gripping thriller about an uncompromising U.S. President who has just told the world he will not negotiate with terrorists. When Russian neo-nationalists hijack Air Force One, the world's most secure and extraordinary aircraft, the President is faced with a nearly impossible decision to give in to terrorist demands or sacrifice not only the country's dignity,but the lives of his wife and daughter.

You know that old dramatic principle of suspension of disbelief? You'll have to rely on it for this box-office smash, but you won't be disappointed. Harrison Ford plays a U.S. president who single-handedly employs his rigid antiterrorism policy when a band of Russian thugs hatch a mid-flight takeover of Air Force One. Gary Oldman, who chews the scenery as the lead terrorist, will shoot a hostage at the slightest provocation. Glenn Close plays the sternly pragmatic vice president who negotiates with Oldman from her Washington seat of power. If you can believe that the aircraft's pressurized cabin can sustain hundreds of rounds of machine-gun fire, you'll buy anything in this entertaining potboiler, especially thanks to Ford's stalwart heroics and some nifty special effects. Director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot) keeps the action moving so fast you won't be sweating the details. Don't forget your parachute! --Jeff Shannon

Air Force One (1997) is a relentlessly paced thriller that is still very pertinent to the dilemmas faced (or depending on one's point of view, not faced) by present American leadership in a hostile and ambivalent world. Though the underlying scenario is a bit outdated (ala 1990s), the themes are still engaging. Harrison Ford turns in a nuanced and very skilled performance. He is backed by several other strong actors, including a rather young Glenn Close acting as Vice President. Liesel Matthews is remarkable as a 12 year old "first daughter" and Wendy Crewson is believable as First Lady.

Plotting of the movie isn't perfect. There are a few loose ends, but I won't spoil viewers' experience by discussing them at length. Suffice it to say, there are some rather implausible acts by peripheral characters. But overall, the story holds up well.

As a footnote, I would also add that I cannot imagine any US Presidential candidate in the current group of right wing crazies, panderers and political hacks, taking the public stand that Harrison Ford does as the President in this story. His "Be Afraid" speech and the reasons behind it ("because it's the right thing to do") are long overdue from the leadership of our country.

How this movie received positive reviews and generated $300,000,000 is a complete mystery to me. I have enjoyed Harrison Ford's films since childhood, but "Air Force One" is complete and utter cheese. The special effects are laughably bad, from Air Force One's ridiculous evasive ground maneuvering, to the Fax Lady's & friends' comfy-happy-no-fear parachute jumps, to the painfully fake fighter windshields, to the crappy green-screen hand-to-hand battles on the rear loading ramp, to the 64-bit video-game quality mid-air fueling sequence, to the preposterous ten-second-per-person rope transfer to the C-130, to the cartoonish breakup of Air Force One into the ocean. Bad. I mean REAL bad, made-for-TV-movie quality effects. I also fail to understand how multiple terrorists could take out multiple secret service agents in their initial assault, yet they timidly refused to enter the belly of the plane to take out one remaining agent (who was actually the president). I also don't understand how FIVE Mig jets would fail to destroy a gianto, relatively slow-moving jumbo jet after they would clearly detect F-15 fighters closing on their position. The only redeeming quality of the film was Gary Oldman's commitment to his performance, and Harrison Ford's usual awesomeness. However, even their epic acting chops cannot overcome the royal cheesiness of this nuclear cheesoid of a cheesy action flick. CHEESE. FAMUNDA CHEESE. FAMUNDA CHEESEVILLE.

BOTTOM LINE: If you've seen DIE HARD then you've more or less seen this film. Still, it's got Harrison Ford in the lead. That in itself was enough to give Sony (and Amazon) my money. 4 STARS

THE STORY: President himself takes on Russian thugs who infiltrate & hijack Air Force One.

THOUGHTS: Patriotic propaganda & audience manipulation at its zenith. Sad fact is that we, as a nation, haven't been able to proudly stand up and cheer a president in a very, very long time. Except movie presidents, that is. All the actors are on their game here in this very entertaining though totally preposterous action outing. It's DIE HARD on a plane, with Harrison Ford's President James Marshall standing in for Bruce Willis' John McClane. Gary Oldman as off-his-nut extremist Ivan Korshunov gives us yet another psycho scuzbag performance that we can gleefully boo & hiss at. Everything follows the tried & true blueprint that the original DIE HARD set down decades ago. If you've seen one clone you've seen 'em all, but this film is undeniably well put together. If you like "everyman" takes on an army of badguys and kicks everyone's butt action films then you'll doubtless enjoy this pleasant, mostly inoffensive timekiller.

THE BLU-RAY: Sony's high-def Blu-ray for AIR FORCE ONE is a pretty good one, as far as picture & sound go. Video is strong and mostly clean, with the proper amount of film grain evident. Some artifacting & pixelation, but not enough to be too distracting. Soundmix is strong & level but a little soft; I had to have my volume cranked fairly high the entire time to catch all the dialogue. No complaints otherwise. Only notable bonus feature is a director's commentary track from Wolfgang Peterson. An interesting listen for fans of the director and this film.

I really like this film and will watch it again and again. Harrison Ford plays a very determined President. He's determined no to sit by and do nothing when terrorists destroy other countries; he is determined not to negotiate with terrorists; he is determined to save his family and other hostages when terrorists take over Air Force One; and very determined to get their leader off his ship and tells him so. After that, he's determined to send as many as possible to safety before the ship breaks apart upon impact with the ocean. He does accomplish his goals with the help of his cabinet via phone calls or fax machine when he is not dodging bullets in various parts of the plane. Glen Close plays an equally determined Vice President trying to get all the hostages free and save President and his family. Gary Oldman plays a terrorist leader who is determined to lead Russia into a new Golden Age of power and glory and plans to undermine the President's new policy of not negotiating with terrorists by threatening to kill his family.
I have always liked Harrison Ford movies and this is a definite keeper to be watched over and over again. I liked the fact that I could choose to watch it either wide-screen or full-screen. This is a movie that needs to be seen in wide-screen. All fans of Harrison Ford will undoubtedly like this film of a man determined to live by his convictions, only to be challenged to dig deep to find the strength and courage to do so when the unthinkable happens. Those who like a good action adventure will like it as well because it is full of action with fights in a plane being wildly flown, bullets flying everywhere, people either parachuting or falling out said plan, and other adrenaline rush scenes. You too will want those terrorists off the President's plane.
