Product Description
When Muslim extremists carrying a lethal nerve gas hijack an Athens-Washington flight, government information expert Kurt Russell joins an elite anti-terrorist unit to try to board the plane before it lands, but a mid-air accident puts the mission in jeopardy. Taut actioner with more than one surprise also stars Halle Berry, John Leguizamo, Oliver Platt, David Suchet and, in a special appearance, Steven Seagal. 133 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.Amazon.com
Despite Steven Seagal's imposing presence in this enjoyable thriller, Kurt Russell turns out to be the real star as an American intelligence expert who finds himself leading a strike force against Islamic terrorists who have seized in-flight control of a 747 jetliner with 400 passengers. It's not all that different from Air Force One, but the formula story perks right along with considerable suspense as Russell's cohorts (Oliver Platt, Joe Morton) try to defuse a chemical bomb that could wipe out (you guessed it) the entire Eastern seaboard. John Leguizamo plays one of the U.S. commandos attempting to stop the violent hijackers, and Halle Berry costars as a flight attendant who risks her life to assist Russell's rescue team. As action movies go, Executive Decision marked an impressive directorial debut for veteran film editor Stuart Baird. --Jeff ShannonSimilarProduct
