Hijackers posing as Russian media take control of Air Force One, containing President James Marshall, his wife, and their daughter. Marshall has made it a tenet of his administration that the United States will not negotiate with terrorists. Unrealistic and cliché-ridden action film, but entertaining. Received Oscar nominations for Best Sound and Best Editing.
