Terrorists take over a 747 bound from Athens to Washington D.C., supposedly to effect the release of their leader. Intelligence expert David Grant suspects another reason and convinces the military that the 'plane should not be allowed to enter U.S. airspace. An assault mission is devised, using a specially equipped 'plane designed for mid-air crew transfers, and Grant finds himself aboard the 747 with a team of military anti-terrorists who have to defuse a bomb and overpower the terrorists.

Note: I saw the last 3/4-last half of the movie, and I saw it on T.V.
8/10. What a great movie! This was a very exciting movie that reminded me of Air Force One starring Harrison Ford. Instead in this movie, hijackers take over the plane without the president aboard.
Kurt Russell is a great actor. His part as the not very liked computer geek played really well. Orignally, he was not supposed to be on the mission or the leader. The leader actually died before he got onto the 747. Steven Seagal is also a great actor. He was very anxious to get on with the mission, but he always played his part well.
For a 1996 movie, the special effects were great. Sometimes I couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't. Maybe there weren't many special effects.......I also thought the music was done very well
This was a great movie but since I saw it on T.V., I don't know the real potential of it. Anyway, I recommend seeing it. It's a great movie.
