Executive Decision (1996) Distributed by Warner Home Video
... the video
Don't shoot ..

Fully understand why this topped the video charts when released, Kurt Stargate Russell as terrorist expert, Dr. David Grant gets a ride that he'll never forget.

This action movie co-stars Steven Under Siege Seagal as Col. Travis who makes an early exit and Halle The Flintstones Berry as a resourceful stewardess who keeps her head while a terrorist gang take over a 747 ( nothing new - see Harrison Ford's Air Force One ). They are led by David tv's Poirot Suchet as Nagi Hassan who we think just wants a fellow terrorist released. Alas no ! ... he has bigger plans !!


How did I get ..

Joining Russell aboard the Jumbo Jet are Oliver The Three Musketeers Platt as Cahill who becomes an overnight bomb expert helped by Cappy - a 'laid back' performance by Joe Speed Morton. Earlier when Russell gets off the helicopter in his dinner suit at the airport, one of the soldiers cracks "It's James Bond !"

Point that ..

Great popcorn action - not to be missed .. remember to never go flying with Kurt Russell ! Keep an eye out for the tv faces of Andreas Babylon 5 Katsulas as the capitive terrorist and JT Dark Skies Walsh as a sleazy Senator Mavros looking for some campaign publicity.

Made prior to the fateful September day in New York & Washington when airborne terrorists took innocent passenger lives.
