"Define irony: a bunch of
idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made
famous
by a band
that died in a plane crash." – Garland Greene
Why watch this?
This is high-flying action on steroids, and you'll remember the
name Cameron Poe.
Plot Summary: The
story follows Cameron Poe, a decorated Army Ranger, who is
paroled from prison after serving time for manslaughter. While
on a flight transporting some of the country's most dangerous
criminals, the inmates seize control of the plane, and Poe finds
himself caught in the middle. With the help of a U.S. Marshal on
the ground, Poe must work to stop the criminals' escape plan .
Dad's Preview:
This and The Rock
(1996)
are awesome
Nicholas Cage action films at the height of his muscular popularity.
Con Air is a little more quirky and fun. It's up to Cage to save the f'ing day...
That Southern
drawl just rolls off his tongue like butter, and he's such a
likeable hero.
