Executive Decision

"Executive Decision" (1996) is an airliner-in-trouble flick that takes a familiar approach from "Under Siege", with Kurt Russell starring as an intelligence analyst who inadvertently joins a special forces operation to save a Boeing 747-200 hijacked by terrorists before it is used to attack DC. Directed by Stuart Baird, the film stars Steven Seagal, Halle Berry, John Leguizamo, Oliver Platt, Joe Morton, David Suchet and B.D. Wong, depicting the rescue of an airliner hijacked by terrorists, by a small team placed on the plane in mid-flight.
