Harrison Ford-A Man For All....Seasons-Air Force One

Air Force One-1997
5 out of 5 stars

"Get...Off...My...Plane!"

President James Marshall is a tough, no-nonsense, straightforward guy. The kind of guy we wish was in the White House. In a speech given in Moscow, he takes a stand against terrorism. And when a splinter group of Russian terrorists hi-jack Air Force One, his words are thrown back in his face.

The Secret Service men assigned hustle the President to the escape pod, but James Marshall is a combat veteran, a husband, and a father, and he refuses to leave his family behind. He hides on the plane, contacts the vice-president (played by a wonderfully strong Glenn Close) via satellite phone, and proceeds to raise merry hell for the terrorists. Egor Korshunov

Operator: White House switchboard, how may I address your call?
President: (whispering) Right. Listen. Listen very carefully. This is an emergency call from Air Force one. This is the President. Can you connect me to the vice-president please.
Operator: (disbelieving) Who did you say is calling?
President: This is the President.
Operator: Yeah, right. And I'm the first lady.
Vice-President Kathryn Bennett
