    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Initially, director/co-producer Wolfgang Petersen was denied access to the real-life Air Force One. A telephone call from Harrison Ford to the White House soon changed that.
    • Goofs
      During the refueling scene when AF1 breaks away fuel is seen spraying out of the boom of the KC-10. The fuel ignites and the flame travels up the boom and blows up the KC-10. Onboard the KC-10 there is a Boom Operator who monitors and has full control of the fuel that the tanker is receiving or giving at all times and also flies the boom. The Boom Operator would have raised the boom as soon as AF1 broke away and cut off the fuel supply long before the fuel could ignite.

    Nobody messes with the president. And for ford this time around it means saving airforce one from a hijacking. Gary oldman plays a great villian along with great performances by glenn close and the rest of the cast. Really great action and some intense scenes make this a solid action thriller.
