Air Force One is a 1997 film directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman and Glenn Close.
Plot - The President of the United States of America James Marshall and his family are returning from a trip to Moscow on the presidential plane, Air Force One, along with some members of the presidential staff. They do not know, however, that a group of dangerous Kazakh terrorists led by Egor Korshunov secretly embarked. The latter have as their goal the liberation of the dictator of their country, General Ivan Radek, captured by the Delta Force and the Specnaz and held prisoner in Russian prisons.
At the time of the raid, the terrorists eliminate most of the bodyguards and some of the president's staff, so that the latter is put on the escape pod, which is ejected from the plane. Since, apparently, the president has been rescued, the ruthless Korshunov begins to kill the passengers of the plane one by one, waiting for his requests to be accepted by Washington. Only thanks to the intervention of the President himself who, in reality, had never abandoned the plane, the situation is resolved for the better. First, in fact, he allows his collaborators to leave the plane, then, one by one, he begins to kill the kidnappers, including Korshunov, and finally manages to completely regain control of Air Force One; the dictator is also killed, in the process of being freed.
The only ones still alive on Air Force One, as most of the passengers were able to parachute from the aircraft, are the President, his family, Major Caldwell, Lloyd Shepard (wounded by Korshunov) and one of the guards of the body of the President. As they are still aboard the plane, they are attacked by some fighters loyal to the slain dictator, which seriously damage the plane before being neutralized by the American fighters. Thus a rescue mission is triggered, during which a new twist occurs: the presidential bodyguard (who actually collaborated with the terrorists), having no alternative to survive, betrays the president and kills the major left with him on Air Force One. But, once again, the President manages to get the better of him: in doing so, safe and sound, he can finally hug his family back.
