FBI hostage rescue team leader Jack Bender has been sacked for not being a team player, and months later he finds himself in the ultimate hostage nightmare: stuck aboard a plane that's been taken over by a group of well-armed terrorists who threaten to detonate a nuclear weapon unless they receive a billion dollars

Reviews
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Joe Dan Gorman A virtual 'who's who' of almost-famous actors... I did not rate it as 'awful' because of the unintentional comedic aspects... But in this jewel, Hollywood demonstrates its absurdly delusional grasp of the politically correct to avoid reality. AGAIN---instead of the terrorists being portrayed as 'radical Muslims' which have actually engaged in ALL reported hijackings in recent decades---the terrorists are contrived and overly exaggerated Hollywood caricatures of conservatives, LOL... But while there IS a middle eastern man...who tries to help...the plane is actually saved by Ernie Douglas (My Three Sons) and Superman (Deano).Then we have "Growing Pains" chick (Tracy Gold) starring as an action- reporter, while 'Back to the Future''s Lea Thompson is utterly masterful at the absurd. It was also freakishly uncanny how much Ms Thompson looks like the "old version' of herself from 'Back to the Future"And the computer generated airplane & sky used were laughably sophomoric. Bravo Hollywood. LOL
auhabib To me movie is just a bit better than awful! the movie is about a hijacked plane that is somehow cliché these days. The problem is that you see the series of illogical event through the movie that can hardly happen together in real life. the previous comments went through some of those.The hilarious thing was the way the top authorities were dealing with such a terrorist attack. The movie depicted the officials as naive people that changed their mind on some unreliable resources. You can see the authorities and important character did not control the situations but the flight attendant and Jack's wife had lots of influences and handle the that serious nuclear threat. To me it could be a good news for terrorist that the main challenge they would have is facing with some brave flight attendants and passengers over hijacking rather than sophisticated officials.The ridiculous thing was that the Jack's wife was taken on the operations to fight with the dangerous villains. Imagine a lady with a miniskirt and high-heeled shoes and make-up was walking on the battlefield. Do not miss that! As nobody knows when such a scene repeats over the cinema history!To me, if you wanted to tell the movie in a phrase you would say it is Bollywood version of hijacking that was made in US.
edwagreen Wonderful action movie.While it follows the usual plot line, it is excitingly done and holds your interest every step of the way.As usual, we see a guy getting fired for becoming too zealous during a shooting at a cult, only for the guy to reemerge in a hijacking of an airplane. We get the pilots knocked out or dead, a young excited stewardess who can become the center of attention. A coronary patient who succumbs to an attack from all the excitement, a doctor not allowed to help the patient due to racism, dissension among the hijackers, are they there to make a political point or are they just a bunch of crooks out to clean out a bank?With all the usual plot lines, this film works due to the excitement which is generated.The cast is perfect and of course there are always people available who can land the plane.
No One Statistically speaking, Hallmark should be able to make a decent action film once in a while. It doesn't have to be high art, but anything would top this turkey.A group of stereotyped terrorists (possibly the same ones from 'Nowhere To Land' and 'Executive Decision') hijack a passenger plane (wow, really?) and threaten to detonate a nuclear device over L.A. (also pinched from 'Nowhere to Land' and 'Executive Decision') unless there white supremacist leader is released (also like 'Executive Decision') and only an FBI agent who just happens to be aboard (ooh, like 'Passenger 57') and save them.Hallmark have dragged out every cliché (terrorists somehow get past security, there's a bomb on board, the FBI agent's wife coordinates things from the ground, an FBI agent just happens to be aboard, a passenger has to land the plane at a small airfield...) and injected a very, very small amount of originality (but it's so little, if you blink, you won't notice it).Someone tell me how your VFX team can present THREE different liveries on the same CG plane? Someone hit the wrong key back there or something? The gunfights are boring and routine, the action is minimal and the plot is so contrived and copied that it hardly entertains. It's not a patch on RCI's 'The Poseidon Adventure' (2005), and that's saying a lot. Forget this movie, and watch something else. Like the grass grow.
