How often do you think Obama turns to someone on Air Force One and says "Get off my plane!" like Harrison Ford? Six, seven times a day?
Matt SingerAug 8, 2020It's hard to overstate just how exciting and also how terrifically absurd this is; a total parody of itself. You can cringe a bit at the endless lives expended to support a dubious foreign policy decision (though it's presented as a human rights one, ok, fine) and by…
matt lynchAug 9, 2021The single most neoconservative movie of the nineties. Renders the vision and philosophy of what would become the George W Bush administration in brilliant Wolfgang Peterson/Michael Balhaus style. Here we have the president commit to using American military power to…

In this film, CNN interrupts regularly scheduled programming to announce that there are “unconfirmed reports that Air Force One has crashed.” In other words, someone told someone else—erroneously—that the President’s plane crashed and CNN producers thought, “We gotta say…
Sean FennesseyJan 22, 2023Insert literally any of the past ten presidents and this movie becomes infinitely funnier
Kenneth ClarkJan 22, 2019i used to carry this vhs around in 1st/2nd grade (??) cuz it was my favorite movie lol ?? can’t believe i used to stan a president

Watched this at a cabin with some friends and a friend’s elderly mom, who spent the entire duration of the movie on the far side of the living room in a reclining chair doing a paint-by-numbers colouring book on her iPad, seemingly not paying any attention whatsoever, until…
Calum MarshDec 28, 202490s Ford is just a vibe. I was saluting him the whole time. Leadership, responsibility, and justice. A straightforward blend, yet its shines brilliantly. Ford commands with his charisma, while yelling Oldman is, as always, a masterclass. Movies set in airplanes have this…
werskuJun 10, 2023Somehow I had never seen this before. As you know, it's a rigorously, even proudly formulaic movie that follows most of the beats of the Die Hard template very closely, except for its surprising refusal to give the John McClane surrogate a character arc. From beginning to…

Incredible acting from Harrison Ford and great thriller in much different times than today
Platypus Lord likedAir Force OneYeah, it's Die Hard on a plane. Nothing mind-blowing & some plot elements are definitely questionable, but it's fun to see Ford & Oldman duke it out on a plane. The tension is effective, the heart of family & patriotism is welcome, and I always enjoy Jerry Goldsmith scores.
Jason Gilbert lovedAir Force OneLook. This is a great movie. Great action. Great fights. Harrison ford is great. Gary Oldman is great. But listen. I’ve seen Con Air. And nothing beats Con Air. But Air Force One is still great and would be top tier if Con Air didn’t exist. But it does

I have seen this movie at least ten times by now and yet I still can’t seem to get enough of it. I was introduced to it when I was a little younger and I enjoyed every second of it. The action, the intensity, Harrison Ford, everything. Great watch. 10/10
Kiira likedAir Force Onehow the president made the desicions really pissed me off. I know it’s just a movie but someone who’d choose two people they love over tens of thousands of others should never be the president. otherwise it was okay and gary oldman was wonderful.
Dan Watson likedAir Force OneThis might be one of my favourite Harrison Ford films. Someone said to me once it was ‘Die Hard on a plane’. To which I say, hell yeah, let’s f**king go! One of the great action movie one-liners before the final kill shot, IMHO.

That speech at the beginning?? God, I'd vote for him. Why can't the current election have candidates like him? With what's going on right now, it feels VERY relevant. This would make a great stealth game.
CvptvinHowdy likedAir Force OneEverything after 1988 is another "Die Hard," just in a different setting, isn't it? The major standout here is obviously Gary Oldman. Damn, does he play a great villain in multiple films.
Figo Nyberg likedAir Force OneEpic hijack action movie with Harrison Ford. Gary Oldman did also a great acting performance in this film. The movie got a great storyline and a very good ending to top of this movie.

Harrison Ford as the President of the United States is such a perfect piece of casting that it's at once a fantasy and a joke: The joke is how perfect the fantasy is. [25 Jul 1997, p. 48]
