				Why watch this? 
				This superb film is at its best when Ford and Oldman go at it. 
				Plot Summary: 
				A group of terrorists hijacks the presidential aircraft, Air 
				Force One, demanding the release of their imprisoned leader. The 
				President, initially believed to have escaped, secretly remains 
				on board, fighting to protect his family and the other hostages. 
				He races against time, battling the hijackers to regain control 
				of the plane and thwart their plans. Dad's Preview: 
				Ford plays the US President whose plane is hijacked by Russian 
				terrorists led by Oldman. Ford 
				is exceptional as the POTUS (we all wish we had), and equally effective is Glenn 
				Close as his stubborn VP. However, it is Gary Oldman who steals 
				the show as the brutal antagonist - man, he can go over the top 
				when it's most effective. Good thrillers must feel plausible - 
				this one does. You'll be on the edge of your seat 
				through-out this high-flying adventure!
