Synopsis: James Marshall is the POTUS and he has just declared a zero-tolerance policy against terrorists. When he is on his way back from Moscow aboard Air Force One, the plane is hijacked by russian terrorists. But Marshall isn't just any president , he is Vietnam veteran and Medal of Honor winner and he takes the plane back.

My Opinion: "Liberty 2-4 is changing call sign. Liberty 2-4 is now Air Force One!" The intersting thing about this movie is that it isn't over when the bad guy was killed. I think Gary Oldman was an excellent villain and what he said regarding "killing with a button" was absolutely true in my opinion. The action sequences on board were very well done and the Rammstein landing looked excellent. What did look bad was the final crash of the plane into the sea.

All-in-all:
