Five miles above the earth, an elite team of six men must make an air to air transfer, in order to save 400 lives on board a 747...and 40 million below.

Terrorists hijack a 747 inbound to Washington D.C., demanding the release of their imprisoned leader. Intelligence expert David Grant (Kurt Russell) suspects another reason and he is soon the reluctant member of a special assault team that is assigned to intercept the plane and hijackers.

    Suspense at 33,000 feet with Kurt Russell

    An intelligence analyst (Russell) inadvertently joins a special forces operation to save a Boeing 747-200 hijacked by terrorists before it is used to attack DC. Steven Seagal plays the mission commander, Halle Berry a flight attendant and Oliver Platt an aeronautics engineers, amongst other notables.

    Executive Decision (1996) is an airliner-in-trouble flick from the angle of Under Siege (1992) directed by the editor of Die Hard 2 (1990). I bring up the latter because this ones very similar except that it takes place in the air rather than an airport.

    I didnt expect to like it because its basically Die Hard on a plane and I didnt think a worthwhile movie could be made with such a cramp...
