President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) is one of the most respected leaders in the history of America. When Kazakhstanian separatists commit atrocities on their own people, Marshall authorizes a guerrilla mission to take their leader, General Radek (Jurgen Prochnow), into custody and restore the democratic regime. In his speech afterward, the president vows never to let America hesitate again when dealing with terrorists. However, that's before a group of them, led by the ruthless Korchunov (Gary Oldman) take over his own flight on Air Force One, with his wife and young daughter also on board. President Marshall, a decorated Vietnam veteran, becomes a one-man vigilante force in his efforts to free his family and the other hostages, retake the plane, and thwart the hijackers. Director Wolfgang Petersen's thrilling film is supported by an excellent ensemble cast, which includes William H. Macy, Philip Baker Hall, and Glenn Close as Kathryn Bennett, the vice president who must hold the Cabinet together in Marshall's absence.

All the Presidents Men In one scary poll last week American voters picked a gun-toting, Kazak-kicking grump with a female VP as their ultimate President. The good news is that James Marshall is only make-believe. As far as we know the actor who played him, Harrison Ford, has no plans to stand for the job in real life, and there isn’t even any prospect of a sequel (“Air Force One Two”, anyone?). In this poll, the runner up was America’s first black President, Morgan... Read more
