ActionAdventureDramaThriller133 min

After terrorists seize a 747 bound for Washington, intelligence expert David Grant suspects the demand to free their imprisoned leader is cover for something else. Kurt Russell is Grant, a civilian analyst pulled into a risky military plan: transfer a small assault team onto the airliner in mid-flight, then locate the hijackers and whatever they’re hiding before the plane reaches the capital. Steven Seagal is part of the operation, which unfolds in tight cabin spaces, cockpit standoffs, and tense exchanges between the command team, the crew, and the passengers caught in the middle.
