Also from the director of troy - Air Force One Reviews

For close to two hours the movie carries you through a twisted story of a highjacked plane, not an ordinary plane but the president's plane. That is something that catches my attention, what about you? Once the plane is in the air you will be on the edge of your seat the entire time! An awesome movie with awesome effects (especially at the end) Great acting and story. In the top five for 1997. Recommended. If you liked the idea of a highjacked airplane you will probably like Con Air. If you like the director (Wolfgang Petersen) you will probably like Troy.
