More than thirty-five years after its release, Die Hard remains among the most influential action films of all time. Since its release, we have seen dozens of movies following its formula of having ONE good guy within an enclosed space having to take down a group of bad guys lead by a terrorist mastermind.
This came out only four years after Die Hard and pretty much followed that formula to a T: in this case, the good guy is played by Wesley Snipes and he's a counter-terrorism expert now trapped on a passenger plane with a group of terrorists lead by Bruce Payne. And you can bet that Wesley gives them a good fight even when the action shifts off of that plane. Kevin Hooks directed this actioner which is about to turn thirty and as far as '90's Die Hard clones go, this one in particular reminds us to ALWAYS bet on Black! ;)
