Plot Summary
The fate of the nation rests on the courage of one man. Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman star in two-time Oscar® nominee Wolfgang Petersen's gripping thriller about an uncompromising U.S. President who has just told the world he will not negotiate with terrorists. When Russian neo-nationalists hijack Air Force One, the world's most secure and extraordinary aircraft, the President is faced with a nearly impossible decision to give in to terrorist demands or sacrifice not only the country's dignity, but the lives of his wife and daughter.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Petersen, known for the efficient and vigorously muscular action of Das Boot and In the Line of Fire, once again directs with galvanizing intensity, but the relentlessness of these thrills carries little in the way of surprise.
Fresh: Air Force One doesn't insult the audience. It is crafted by a film-maker who takes pride in the thrills and sly fun he packs into every frame.
Fresh: The stalking struggle between reason and unreason that precedes it is much more gripping--and fun.
Rotten: The two hours of this movie felt like such an eternity that I was certain my clothes were going to be out of style by the time it was over.
Customer Reviews
Excellent
You know, there are a lot of bad actors out there, but Harrison Ford is not one of them. This is one of, if not his prime movie. Not to mention the fact that for a film made in 98, this is incredible even by todays standards.To sum it all up, this is one of the greatest movies of all time, hands down.
One of Han Solos Best!
I watched this movie when i was still in college but whenever there are re-runs i still enjoy it. Trully one of Harrison Ford's Top Ten Greatest movies next to Star Wars and the Indiana Jones Series. I hope and pray that iTunes would also load them up for download.
(: U can't beat it! (So don't try!)
Let's go and see other Harrison Ford flicks... - Witness - Indy I, ll, lll, and llll - The "good" Star Wars' - Patriot Games - Blade Runner - American Graffitti - Force 10 from Navrone
