Executive Decision
|
| | |
Features: DVD
Looking for excitement? You've made the right Decision! Producer Joel Silver adds to his string of hits and Stuart Baird, editor of Silver's Lethal Weapon and other action spectaculars, makes a memorable directorial debut on a movie "faster than Speed and more fun than Broken Arrow" (Allen Barra, Newhouse Newspapers). Kurt Russell, Steven Seagal, Halle Berry, John Leguizamo and others in a heroic ensemble are on board for first-class thrills. The mission: board a hijacked 747 in midair. Avoid detection. Locate and disable a hair-triggered nerve-toxin bomb that could wipe out the U.S. Eastern Seaboard. Execute a split-second attack that overwhelms the terrorists and safegaurds the passengers. Do it all without air-to-ground radio. And do it before an increasingly jittery U.S. military blasts the airliner out of the sky. "I hope there's a good movie on this flight," an antiterrorist operative quips. As it turns out, there's a great one: Executive Decision!
Editor's Note
An elite military team must board an airborne, hijacked plane to defuse a nerve gas bomb that could wipe out the entire East Coast. The plot follows a "Die Hard" formula, providing competent suspense.
Plot Summary
A flight en route to Washington, D.C. is hijacked by Islamic terrorists, who demand $50 million and their leader's release. To show that they mean business, the men have smuggled enough nerve gas onboard to wipe out half of the U.S. The government must now make an "executive decision" as to whether to shoot down the plane and sacrifice the passengers, for the sake and safety of America. | In the meantime, a gung-ho, multi-ethnic task force is sent into action, led by no-nonsense Austin Travis, and including intelligence analyst David Grant. They attempt to sneak onto the plane in midair, using an experimental aircraft that attaches to the bottom of the jetliner. However, Travis does not survive. Now, The tuxedoed Grant (who's more comfortable behind a desk) must lead the commandoes, and find a way to stop the terrorists -- before it's too late.
