Overview

A convicted murderer is escorted by marshals on a regular flight from Phoenix to Dallas. Shortly after takeoff, two of his aides, traveling as ordinary passengers, take control and free him.

**Alright, if naïve in Hindsight.** Its like every other flightjack movie from the 90's but with some of the Brat Pack. In our Post-9/11 world this kind of worry on flights is quaint. Best way to bother is with Rifftrax. Its good for a Rifftrax movie. That's not saying much, Rifftrax puts the "quality movie" bar _low_.
