It‘s difficult to take seriously any film in which the President Of The United States manages to lay waste to a whole bunch of hijackers without so much as loosening his tie, but then again Petersen‘s movie is so full of such inconsistencies that you go along with it in spite of itself. Ford is the Pres, the only man who can save his titular planeload of cronies - plus, of course, his wife and daughter - from the sneering Oldman and his terrorist buddies. A very silly picture, but an ultimately thrilling one; taken as a big dumb slice of popcorn entertainment it more than delivers the goods.
