Advantages: Skydiving scenes, filmwork Disadvantages: Some acting deficiencies
Drop Zone is a harmless 1994 action film starring Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey. Snipes had a run of films in the 1990s that featured some high octane chases and extreme situations. Here, in Drop Zone, we see the art of skydiving from a competition aspect and also how it can be used for more sinister causes.
Snipes plays Pete Nessip, a US Marshall who loses his brother and the computer geek they were escorting to federal prison following an attempt ... ...determined to catch his killer and rescue the computer geek Leedy (Michael Jeter), Nessip infiltrates a group of skydivers to get closer to the villains, led by Ty Moncrief (Gary Busey). Moncrief has big plans involving Leedy, and plans to use skydiving to do the crime. Nessip must act quickly and without suspicion falling on him in order to prevent a catastrophic heist from taking place. And, of course, there's the revenge of his brother to think ...

Advantages: Great acting, action and plenty of skydiving Disadvantages: None
Drop Zone is excellent. The aerial photography of people hurtling towards the ground at terminal velocity is superb. If you are remotely interested in skydiving then you wlli love this film. The plot is very good and entertaining and moves along at a fast pace so you never get bored. The acting is great too and Wesley Snipes does a good job of eventually blending in as a skydiver. The action is thick and fast with fights, explosions on planes and ...

Advantages: Fast, heart pacing thrill ride to the very end. Disadvantages: Maybe a bit slow to begin with, but nothing much
...fights and plenty of humour. Drop Zone is a must see movie which, keeps you gripped to the very end. Wesley Snipes steals most of the film but it has a member-able cast also including John Badham and Gary Busey.
The film is about a group of terrorists that have staged a computer hackers death so they can use him to take part in money making downloads. It is another terrorist feature, but I think this one is different and there is a lot of enjoyment ...

DVD Description
When U.S. marshals Pete Nessip (Wesley Snipes) and his brother, Terry (Malcolm Jamal Warner), escort Earl Leedy (Michael Jeter), a criminal computer hacker, on a flight headed straight to federal prison, little do they expect terrorist skydivers to foil their mission and capture the hacker. Terry is murdered during the attack and after the plane lands, FBI agents suspectNessip for the terrorism, suspend him, and it is up to his ingenuity to prove his innocence while at the same time seeking revenge on Terry's killers. Nessip begins to investigate the possibility of involvement by an ex-DEA renegade and daredevil skydiver, Ty Moncrief (Gary Busey), who was the mastermind behind the attack that freed Leedy. In order to learn more about the world of skydiving, Nessip joins a championship skydiving school in Florida, run by Jessie Crossman (Yancy Butler) who informs him of a legendary jump on Washington, D.C. on July 4th, which is rumored to be the one time, every year, where security is lessened over the capitol's air space. Director John Badham's action thriller features harrowing skydiving action sequences.
