Description
Nothing makes good-guy non-recidivist offender Cameron Poe happier than the thought of returning to society, where his angelic wife and the equally angelic little girl he's never known are waiting. And nothing makes him angrier than the passel of psychopathic murderers and rapists aboard his prison transport plane--especially when, under the direction of ringleader Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, they revolt and hijack their own plane. Fortunately, our hero's been trained by the Army as an elite one-man-fighting-machine, and a dogged Justice Department agent waits on the ground to help him bring the fanatical fly-boys in for a bloody crash landing--in Vegas! A hyperactive Molotov cocktail blended from the frenetic efforts of high-octane action producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("The Rock"), hipster-schtick screenwriting specialist Scott Rosenberg, and music video director West. Academy Award Nominations: 2, including Best Original Song ("How Do I Live"), and Best Sound.

Credits
Producer:Chad Oman, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jim Kouf, Kenny Bates, Lynn Bigelow, Peter Bogart
Score Composer:Mark Mancina, Trevor Rabin

Cameron Poe (Cage) is reaching the end of a lengthy stretch having murdered a man to defend his pregnant wife. Before they can be reunited he must make a trip on a plane full of America's most nasty criminals. When they get out of hand, the only way Poe can be sure of seeing his family again is by thwarting their planned escape. As if Malkovich's Cyrus ‘The Virus' Grissom was not enough to contend with, US Marshall Vince Larkin (Cusack) must fight a running battle with Duncan Malloy (Meaney) on the ground to stop him blowing the plane to pieces.

The 'tearful wife' bits are mercifully short, and you have no time to mourn the loss of meaning and substance when watching a plane crash-land in the heart of Vegas.
