Storyline

When a Marine Colonel orders his men to massacre a village they were sent to rescue some hostages but when they found them dead they decide to get some payback. Upon returning to the States the Colonel would be court-martialed and made a plea agreement wherein all the blame is on him and his men would be discharged and receive any benefits they're entitled. But the General presiding over his trial chooses not to agree to the agreement and throws the book at the Colonel and has his men dishonorably discharged thus eliminating all their benefits.

Goofs

Besides the fact that the stewardess fires an Uzi toward a cockpit (and all the other gunfire that occurs on the plane) without compromising the pressure hull or damaging any cockpit equipment, she starts out firing 2 or 3 shots in single shot mode and then lets off an automatic burst without switching to full auto. As they show the bullet holes appearing in the terrorist and he crumples, a few rounds of the burst continue after he has fallen, and she is still firing directly into the cockpit, but nothing happens to the cockpit windows or instruments.

Who Left the Vault Door Open?
6 August 2001 | by (Maplewood NJ) – See all my reviews

Or did Phoenician Entertainment find the key to the vault with every piece of stock footage available? First we had SONIC IMPACT...then SUBMERGED...and now AIR RAGE. I see that this film's working title was "Purple Heart" and you earn one (nothing demeaning to those members who have really earned one) if you can sit through this useless drivel.

What we have is a disgruntled Marine Corps colonel who hijacks a passenger jet carrying the nominee for Defense Secretary. In fact, this colonel has it in for the nominee and he also wants a disk that his is carrying.

We quickly jump to a poor man's Executive Decision as Ice-T (of all people) leads the worst group of commandos to assault the airliner via air transfer from an SR-71.

If you don't get the idea yet, stick with the original EXECUTIVE DECISION and if this is on cable late at night when you can't sleep, do yourself a favor...watch it because you will fall asleep.
