The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Face to face."When Russian radicals hijack Air Force One, with the US President (Ford), the First Family (supportive wife, pretty daughter) and important members of his staff aboard, it is left to the president himself, a decorated war hero, to defeat the terrorists (led by a scarily fanatical Oldman), save his family (and other hostages), and prevent a just-apprehended nationalist leader from being released from captivity.Spectacular action and special effects are over the top even for this type of jingoistic nonsense, with, once again, a British character actor in a foreign accent playing the main villain (exceptionally well), and the USA coming up roses.If only it weren't quite so entertaining...Blu-ray Extras: Featurette, Trivia Track, Movie Showcase, Trailer. ** (4/10)

Because this uncovered base leaves the wonderment of how the hijackers got past security in the first place, I had to mark this movie down significantly. It's explained to the First Lady that an authorized group to board the plane was ambushed by these radicals on their way to the plane. The First Lady says, "Tell me it's not that easy." She gets the response that it's not and a bunch of processes are listed to her, such as creating IDs. We're never explained how the radicals did all that; were just shown Gary Oldman placing his thumb on the laptop screen with it then popping up a matching picture of him as a "Welcome aboard" confirmation.

This is from 1997 and I just now got the chance to see this on TV by accident.Wow, what utter tosh! I don't even know where to begin. Harrison Ford as president with Ninja skills, Glenn Close with ridiculous peroxide hair trying to sound serious? Nah, my favourite thing is that it - of course - is the evil, evil Russians who capture the president's plane, I mean, who ever else, right? We all know that Russia is oh so evil (and I mean really EVERYbody there, no exception) as the media constantly tells us. And of course the baddie's name is even Iwan - played by Gary Oldmn, who is as Russian as I am a nuclear scientist.So yeah, hail to the good old prejudice and please US movie makers, make another one with evil Russians, I just can't get enough Oo

Air Force One is one of the biggest films of the 1990s and for good reason. It features everything that made the 90s a great decade for motion pictures. Air Force One would be one of those films that help made the 90s something special in terms of how a action movie is suppose to be. With a strong cast that stars Harrison Ford as the film protagonist President James Marshall. It's easy to stand that James Marshall is the best fictional president and with Harrison's performance it is easy to see why because he play such a strong character in this film and gives new meaning to the term Man of action and that's exactly what this president does. While his family, played by Wendy Crewson as Grace Marshall and their daughter is played by Liesel MarshallGlenn Close plays Vice President Kathryn Bennett she shows to be just the woman for the job and Glenn brings this character to life with her performance. Gary Oldman plays Ivan Korshunov the film main antagonist, Gary's performance is one of the most bone chilling and powerful performances of any villain in a film Gary turn it up high.The music in Air Force One is so well balance and it help move the story to bring it to life Jerry Goldsmith made a very good musical score in the film as each piece helps the filmThe plot is one of the most intense stories you can ever see in a movie and with the cast's Performance it helps make it convince as the thrill ride goes on.Do yourself a favor and watch this 1990s classic it is one of the best films of the decade I give Air Force One An 8 out of 10.
