mega-producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun, Days of Thunder, The Rock, Crimson Tide) lives on, even after Simpson's druggy death. (Read Charles Fleming's exposé, High Concept: Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess, for more about that). Nicolas Cage, sporting a disconcerting mane of hair, is a wrongly convicted prisoner on a transport plane with a bunch of infamously psychopathic criminals, including head creep Cyrus the Virus (John Malkovich), black militant Diamond Dog (Ving Rhames), and serial killer Garland Greene (Steve Buscemi, making the most of his pallid, rodent-like qualities). Naturally, the convicts take over the plane; meanwhile, on the ground, a US marshal (John Cusack)and a DEA agent (Colm Meaney), try to figure out what to do. As is the postmodern way, the movie displays a self-consciously ironic awareness that its story and characters are really just excuses for a high-tech cinematic thrill ride. Best idea: the filmmakers persuaded the owners of the legendary Sands Hotel in Las Vegas to let them help out with the structure's demolition by crashing their plane into it.--Jim Emerson
high the outside temperature rises. Now, with Comma's great new Air Con Cleaner, you can also be certain that you and your passengers are breathing the freshest, safest air, free from all the bacteria, viruses, air and traffic pollutants which can cause unpleasant odours, hay fever symptoms and other allergic reactions. A simple ten minute treatment, and your whole car is refreshed, with upholstery and carpets deodorised to bring back that new car smell. Turn your air con system to recirculate with full fan. Position the aerosol according to instructions on can, press the "stay on" start button, and jump out, closing the door behind you. The aerosol sprays fine (non-staining) particles into the air, which are circulated by the fan to clean, deodourise and disinfect the whole sytem as well as upholstery and carpets.

...ConAir is simply a great movie with oustanding action and acting. Nicolas Cage is in the centre of the action as an aircraft carrying the worlds worst convicts is taken over. Somehow he is in the centre of it all. Is he a convict I hear you cry...Yes but a good one. This is a slight downfall the plot is a bit strange but when it boils down to it you watch this film and just don't care. Once the movie hits about the halfway mark it is just about action all the way. The stunts are great. There is even some mild humour in the middle of it all and it all adds up to a great action romp that is well worth a look....

DVD Description
Nothing makes good-guy non-recidivist offender Cameron Poe happier than the thought of returning to society, where his angelic wife and the equally angelic little girl he's never known are waiting. And nothing makes him angrier than the passel of psychopathic murderers and rapists aboard his prison transport plane--especially when, under the direction of ringleader Cyrus The Virus Grissom, they revolt and hijack their own plane. Fortunately, our hero's been trained by the Army as an elite one-man-fighting-machine, and a dogged Justice Department agent waits on the ground to help him bring the fanatical fly-boys in for a bloody crash landing--in Vegas! A hyperactive Molotov cocktail blended from the frenetic efforts of high-octane action producer Jerry Bruckheimer (The Rock), hipster-schtick screenwriting specialist Scott Rosenberg, and music video director West. Academy Award Nominations: 2, including Best Original Song (How Do I Live), and Best Sound.
