A 1996 action movie. Directed by Stuart baird. It stars Kurt Russell, Steven Seagal, Halle Berry with others. Nagi Hassan & his men hijack a flight & demand release of their leader. David Grant & other military personnel go on a mission to save the passengers on the flight 747.
On a budget of $ 55 million it garnered $ 122.1 million. A major hit.Today the action remains as exciting as it was years ago.
Oliver Platt as Dennis Cahill, aeronautic engineer is in charge of the experimental ‘Remora F117x’ aircraft. It is inserted midair along with the rescue team. Totally fascinated by the name ‘Remora’ as in mutualism, a small fish that cleans the tit bits in the teeth of the shark. This airship is so small, a slight bump & it gets attached to the airliner! Too good.
Till the final landing, it maintains the suspense. A true thriller. The gun trotting men are seen in “Niraja” but the outcome is totally different. What we gain is a good performance by Sonam Kapoor in the title role.
