| Air travel is safest, the FAA says. But the FAA never figured the risk with Charles Rane on board. "The Rane of Terror" has masterminded four terrorist attacks. Soon there will be a fifth--and that's bad news for the passengers of Flight 163. But there's good news too: the man in seat 57! Wesley Snipes earns his wings in this exciting airborne adventure. He plays John Cutter, an undercover security operative who enters the lavatory and exits to find Rane and his gang have taken over. Cutter's next move is clear. Do. Or be done to. If it's action you seek, Passenger 57 is the only way to fly! |

Sly Delvecchio: You know, that's what I admire about you! Even though you are being hit on by absolutely beautiful women, you are determined to maintaining your vow of chastity. You know, you'd make a hell of a republican! |
