Plot; When a commercial airliner is taken by terrorists who plan to use it on a suicide mission to deliver a deadly nerve gas into the United States, Special Forces attempt a daring mid-air insertion into the plane to try and stop them.
Sort of Die Hard by way of Tom Clancy, this mid-90s actioner requires some suspension of disbelief (none more so than accepting John Leguizomo and B.D. Wong as Special Forces soldiers), but holds up surprisingly well. Aside from its hook (the use of an experimental stealth plane to secretly doc w/the airliner and insert a Special Forces team), it doesn't really bring anything new to the genre, but if you like meat and potatoes, there's plenty of both here.
