Advantages: Great acting from Harrison Ford. Disadvantages: Quite a lot of hi-jacking films about. Not most original story.
This is another action packed film starring Harrison Ford as the President of the United States (Jim Marshall). He is travelling home with his wife, daughter and a planeload of top government officials on AirForce One - one of the most guarded planes.
A few minutes into the journey the plane gets hi-jacked by terrorists led by Korshunov (Gary Oldman). Thinking the President has escaped, he then threatens to start killing passengers every half hour unless his country's imprisoned dictator is freed. Marshall then realises it is his responsibility to protect his family and the other passengers.
The Vice President (Glenn Close) does her best to negotiate with the terrorists but they keep their word and stert killing passengers.
The President then comes up with a plan to get the passengers of the plane by getting them to parachute ...
Advantages: excellent action packed film Disadvantages: dvd is a flipper
Another excellent film starring Harrison Ford as the President of the United States. Airforce one basically gets taken over by terrorists wanting their comrade to be released from prison
This acting in the film is excellent because the terrorists make threats like they will kill hostages every 30minutes and thats exactly what happens. Most american "threat" movies spend hours with threats and no action but this film does actually give the impression of what terrorists are really like. gary oldman plays the head terrorist part very well.
Harrison ford basically stows away and sabotages the plane from within picking off terrorists now and then. Plenty of shootings and airline action, although the crashing of the plane is the end must have been done a 1980s computer as the graphics are very poor, tey should havce crashed a real ...
Advantages: Genuine footage Disadvantages: How the Amercians won the war
Of all the branches of the armed services of probably pretty much any country the airforce is probably seen as one of the most glamorous, or perhaps even the most glamorous.
World War 2 In Colour, AirWar, tells the true story (shown with actual live colour footage, filmed by combat cameramen) of the real story of the fighting aircraft of World War 2 and of their brave and dedicated aircrew and equally brave and dedicated ground support staff who, at great risk to themselves, kept the aircraft serviceable and fighting against the enemy Axis forces.
The image of the airman, smartly dressed in his flying suit, and flying free above the earth was only a small part of it. A very small part of it. For being an air combatant during World War 2 was often not much fun.
The programme shows how dangerous and how short the life of an air ...
