Overview

Description

Hong Kong director John Woo's second U.S. film (his first was Hard Target) delivers a number of exciting action sequences but is let down by a credibility-straining plot. John Travolta plays Vic Deakins, an Air Force pilot on what is supposed to be a routine night flight mission with his co-pilot, the younger Riley Hale (Christian Slater), whom Deakins constantly kids for lacking the "will to win." Deakins is actually a traitor who crashlands their Stealth Bomber in Death Valley so that he can steal two nuclear warheads onboard and sell them to terrorists who plan to blackmail the government. Deakins meets up with his cohorts, who have been waiting in the park, while Hale survives and teams up with a young, attractive park ranger (Samantha Mathis) to foil Deakins's plans. Plenty of action ensues, with car chases, collapsing mine shafts, fights on burning trains, and even the underground detonation of a nuclear device. Despite the script's implausibilities and inconsistencies, Woo amply displays the expertise with action sequences and man-to-man conflict that has made his Hong Kong films cult favorites.~Don Kaye

You can't go wrong with this action packed classic from director John Woo. Travolta and Slater give great performances and the cute and talented Samantha Mathis is always a delight to see!

Love this movie. Yeah, the fact that this is a John Woo action movie helps but this is classic John Travolta and over the top villainy! Love his character and his whacky acting in this. Quotable and entertaining throughout. The quality of the audio and video is slightly better than average but this is just some fun!

Back in the 90's they had some fun action movies. Travolta chews up the scenery here and is a great villian.

This story is so rediculous yet fun to watch. Travolta was on a roll playing bad guys back then.

The visual quality is that of a decent DVD, but the price is low. The Special Features are only assorted trailers.
