You know that old dramatic principle of suspension of disbelief? You'll have to rely on it for this box-office smash, but you won't be disappointed. Harrison Ford plays a U.S. president who single-handedly employs his rigid antiterrorism policy when a band of Russian thugs hatch a mid-flight takeover of Air Force One. Gary Oldman, who chews the scenery as the lead terrorist, will shoot a hostage at the slightest provocation. Glenn Close plays the sternly pragmatic vice president who negotiates with Oldman from her Washington seat of power. If you can believe that the aircraft's pressurized cabin can sustain hundreds of rounds of machine-gun fire, you'll buy anything in this entertaining potboiler, especially thanks to Ford's stalwart heroics and some nifty special effects. Director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot) keeps the action moving so fast you won't be sweating the details. Don't forget your parachute! --Jeff Shannon

One of the greatest "junk" movies ever made! September 29, 2008
Of course "AF1" has more plot holes than a Jerry Bruckheimer film, but watching this movie back in 1997 was one of the biggest cinema joys in recent years! "AF1" is a MUST for all Ford fans, as well as fans of action. Wolf Petersen is one of my favorite directors, he makes this movie 'take off' and really 'fly' with excitement. I also should say, Gary Oldman is probably the greatest working film actor today who has never been nominated for an Oscar, (as far as I know). I'm not saying "AF1" is 'Oscar material' but I'd rather watch this than something like "The Last Emperor". "AF1" may go down in my book as Harrison Ford's last great action role, so what if it's unbelievable? Almost a classic. It has it's flaws but is an otherwise very memorable film."
 Terrific Movie April 9, 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed this action packed movie. Harrison Ford is amazing in this movie. Thank you.

Everyone knows by now that this movie is about an American president (playe by Harrison Ford) who must fight for the lives of his faily and staff on an Air Force One that has been taken over by terrorists. It's
a great movie; I had seen it on TV one weekend and had to buy it.
But here's the thing: the product description is not quite right. While
this DVD is fullscreen, it's not the 1.85:1 that's it is said to be. I
know, a truly minor, even nitpicky little thing, but some people actually worry over such things. I do. I was happy to find that this *is* actually fullscreen which it wouldn't have been if the product description was right about the aspect ratio.

Air Force One DVD
Air Force One starring Harrison Ford is one of my favorite movies for all the wrong reasons.
First it shows you what an U. S. President ought to be:
-An Honorably discharged veteran (in the movie he had won the Congressional Medal of Honor)
-Brave ( he chose to stay behind and fight the terrorist who had hijacked the plane)
-A man of action, not just words.
Glenn Close plays a superb Vice-President. In the movie the President's family on the surface mirrors Bill Clinton's, wife with a teenage , blonde headed daughter. Too bad reality is so different.
Anyhow as Bill Clinton recently said it's all a fairy tale.
Highly recommended for people who want to know how a President is suppose to be and for fans of Harrison Ford.

P. S. Did you know Harrison Ford was a carpenter when discovered for the first Star Wars movie?
