Factual errors: When Riley is ejected off the railroad trestle, he falls straight down. His body should have fallen at an angle, maintaining the momentum from the forward motion of the train.

Vic Deakins:
Battle is a highly fluid situation. You - You plan on your contingencies, and I have. You keep your initiative, and I will. But what you don't do is share command. It's never a good idea.

"Broken Arrow" is a good action film about a Stealth pilot (John Travolta) who steals nuclear weapons one night during a practice mission. His goal is to sell the weapons back to the United States government by blackmailing them. Old partner Christian Slater is willing to stop Travolta at all costs with the help of ranger Samantha Mathis. Howie Long makes an impressive film debut as Travolta's evil henchman. The screenplay is smart enough to work and the direction is fast and furious. A film that is about as good as it can be. 4 stars out of 5.
