AIR FORCE ONE (M) Presented in 35mm Film

Air Force One at The Revival House Perth

When President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) delivers a passionate speech in Moscow vowing "no negotiations with terrorists," he has no idea how soon those words will be tested. On the flight home aboard Air Force One, a group of Russian ultra-nationalist hijackers led by the ruthless Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman) seize control of the aircraft, taking the First Family and Cabinet members hostage. The terrorists demand the release of imprisoned dictator General Radek, threatening to execute hostages one by one. Believed to have escaped in the emergency pod, President Marshall is actually hiding aboard the plane—and this former soldier and Medal of Honor recipient isn't about to abandon his family or his country. What follows is a deadly game of cat-and-mouse at 40,000 feet, as the President becomes a one-man army fighting to retake his plane.

Director Wolfgang Petersen delivers a masterclass in contained action filmmaking, transforming the iconic presidential aircraft into a pressure-cooker battleground. Ford brings gravitas and genuine toughness to a Commander-in-Chief who backs up his principles with action, while Oldman is chillingly effective as the ideologically driven terrorist. The supporting cast—including Glenn Close as the Vice President, Wendy Crewson as the First Lady, and William H. Macy as a conflicted Secret Service agent—adds layers of political intrigue to the non-stop thrills. Jerry Goldsmith's patriotic score soars, and the practical effects and stunts (including a breathtaking mid-air rescue sequence) remain spectacular. This is pure '90s action cinema firing on all cylinders.
