	Air Force One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Air Force One Pavilion was opened to the public on October 24, 2005.
		Air Force One is a prominent symbol of the presidency and its power; after the White House and presidential seal, it is probably the most recognized presidential symbol.
		The film was noted for its fancifully-exaggerated depiction of the plane's capabilities; for example, the real Air Force One does not officially carry an escape capsule, though this cannot be refuted since the exact specifications of the aircraft are classified.

	s e r i o u s : film : air force one
		Films currently being churned out by the mainstream moguls contain so many references to past cinematic classics that it leads one to question what the nature of cinema has evolved into today.
		But you've got to wonder about the deliberateness of casting in films when every time you point to an actor and say, "Oh yeah, he was in..." and the sentence finishes with the mention of the same film.
		AIR FORCE ONE presents us with a sincere, romantic president, who also happens to be a bit of an ass-kicker, courtesy of time spent in the army.

		For Air Force One, he was asked to give his advice on such matters as how motorcades are conducted, where agents are deployed, how people board the airplane, and details down to how the agents dress and their electronic communications gear.
		After the filming was complete, AIA returned the airplane to service¬but not before stripping off the movie paint and restoring the company's colors: overall white, with orange, gold, and fl stripes.
		It is important to note that the term "Air Force One" does not describe an airplane but is a call sign used by any flight in which the President is aboard.

	The Making of Air Force One
		And as long as you are going to hijack Air Force One, you may as well do it while the president and the first family are aboard.
		The director of Air Force One is Wolfgang Petersen, whose film Das Boot, a gritty tale of life aboard a World War II German submarine, established his penchant for exhaustive research and painstaking accuracy.
		The film crew prepared for the shoot by using the aircraft performance manuals to calculate the acceleration and braking distances for the 747's weight and the air density at the airport to establish a maximum speed.

		As Joan of Arc, Seberg herself was almost burned at the stake--but on film, caught squealing at the puff of flame, she reacts like a Brownie spooked by a blazing marshmallow.
		Air Force One illustrates the theory of the Big Lie--the principle that a whopper is easier to swallow than a fib.
		Such threats are catnip to terrorists, of course, and no sooner has Air Force One reached cruising altitude than a strike force disguised as a Russian TV crew whips out machine guns and herds the passengers into a conference room.

		Meanwhile, lest "Air Force One" be confused with anything ordinary, Petersen stages some furiously energetic airborne sequences starring the painted 747 that plays the title role.
		Trivia note: The film's huge interior set, which imagines Air Force One right down to those hand towels, was built on the nation's largest sound stage.
		Rating: "Air Force One" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian).

		Air Force One is so much a part of the American Presidency.
		And Air Force One, in all its magnificence and in all its glory, was, and is, the vehicle by which the President can bring his policies and the American ideals to places where he had never been before, like China, where no President had ever been until Nixon journeyed there.
		This is a journey that filmmakers, producers, and the average citizen just dreams about—getting onboard Air Force One and flying with the President of the United States across the country.

	Salon \| "Air Force One"
		The film is named, of course, for the commander in chief's deluxe plane, and the movie makes sure we know just what a nifty rig it is, equipped for everything from kicking back with a beer and a videotape of the big game to launching World War III.
		"Air Force One" recalls nothing so much as the "corridors of power" thrillers of the '60s, the kind in which dull-as-dishwater character actors like Lloyd Nolan and Dean Jagger were dragged out to portray presidents and senators and so on.
		She and the rest of the cast, which includes Dean Stockwell as the secretary of Defense, Paul Guilfoyle as the chief of staff and William H. Macy as an Army general, seem to be competing for the title of Bureaucrat with the Tiredest Blood.

		The film’s score showed fine stereo separation as well as a strong presence from the surround channels, and effects usage seemed to be quite solid.

		In addition, Presidents find Air Force One a refuge because it is free from many of the protocols, routines, and meetings that dominate life in the West Wing.
		And some very powerful images are associated with Air Force One, especially the swearing-in of Lyndon Johnson aboard the president's plane a few hours after President Kennedy was assassinated and, of course, the events of 9/11.

		In the end, how the film does financially may depend on whether Americans will buy Ford as a tough-talking, butt-kicking president —; although, given the amount of lies and deception we've had to suffer through in the past 30 years, maybe we need a man of action in the White House.
		As the film begins, this Medal of Honor-winning former soldier is seen giving an anti-terrorism speech in the former Soviet Union.
		"Air Force One" is rated R for wall-to-wall violence and mayhem, profanity, some gory shots and a particularly vulgar joke uttered by one character.

	DVD Review - Air Force One (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The picture quality is excellent, aside from a bit of minor artifacting seen occasionally in the night time clouds, and a few brief shots of the plane on the ground in Moscow (usually involving blue-green tints which MPEG 2 has difficulty encoding).
		Side B contains a full frame version, for those who prefer it (the film was shot in Super 35 and matted for theatrical release, so while the full frame version is a different viewing experience, it does not have the usual 'pan and scan' feel).
		And for serious film buffs, a theatrical trailer (of good quality) is available on the disc, as is an interesting commentary track by director Wolfgang Peterson.

	Air Force One Movie Review
		Later that evening, Marshall and entourage board the Presidential transport, Air Force One, and prepare to return to Washington (there are actually two specially-modified 747s used by the President, and Air Force One is the callsign used by the plane when the President is aboard either aircraft, or any aircraft for that matter).
		The overpowering sense of paralysis by analysis over the lives on Air Force One is conveyed nicely by Glenn Close, as we watch Bennett struggle to avoid the further loss of lives at the hands of the terrorists.
		The claustrophobic steady-cam cinematography, first seen in "Das Boot", conveys the confusion aboard Air Force One and the elevated sense of vulnerability as Marshall is stalked by Korshunov's men.

		But the president is really still on board air force One attempting to regain control of the plane and to rescue his wife and daughter.
		Air Force One, the 1997 summer hit directed by Wolfgang Petersen (The Boat/Das Boot, In The Line of Fire) and starring Harrison Ford as President James Marshall, stretches the term "willing suspension of disbelief" to its limits, yet, incredibly, it works.
		Marshall, who by happenstance is separated from his family and staff during the takeover, must use his military training (he's a former Air Force pilot) and his wits to regain control of Air Force One and rescue the hostages before the terrorists achieve their aims.

	Air Force One
		In what has to be one of the most engaging action thrillers in recent years, Harrison Ford stars as U.S. President James Marshall aboard Air Force One when the plane is hijacked by a group of highly skilled terrorists.
		This is a man who, throughout the film, commands the respect and loyalty of those around him, and frankly who could blame them.
		This is, after all, fiction...and Air Force One doesn't really have an escape pod, and our leaders really aren't this noble in action, and Harrison Ford really isn't the President of the United States...what a shame...

		In fact, think of Air Force One as Hollywood's answer to realpolitik: Boomer-in-Chief James Marshall is a perfect '90s leader.
		Air Force One has 87 phones, some of which connect calls to anyone anywhere on earth, in space, or even in oecan-deep nuclear submarines.
		A terrorist hijacking of Air Force One would be the mother of all coups.

		Air Force One will get your adrenaline going — without worrying about your seatmate throwing up.
		The trailer, while exciting, actually hurts the film by making it appear that the hijacking is illogical and that the government tells the world immediately.
		If Contact is the thinking person’s science fiction film, Air Force One is a smart rollercoaster ride — in air conditioning.

		When Russian neo-nationalists hijack Air Force One, the world's most secure and extraordinary aircraft, the President is faced with a nearly impossible decision to give in to terrorist demands or sacrifice not only the country's dignity, but the lives of his wife and daughter.
		Peterson's film is a huge, loud beast of a film, filled with gunfire, explosions, and not a few tears.
		The film's biggest flaw -- aside from the lapses of credibility, which are almost obligatory in escapist summer movies -- is that it flies on and on until its power to hold us simply peters out.

		Derivative and preposterous though it may be, Air Force One is given wings by Wolfgang Petersen's canny direction (after this and In the Line of Fire he should be hired by Bill Clinton as an image adviser), Ford's wryly sexy and dyspeptic performance, and the wit and near-hallucinatory verisimilitude of its effects and action sequences.
		But not the president -- in one of the film's many brilliant twists, he's managed to elude the kidnappers and is hiding out in the bowels of the plane.
		With laugh-out-loud absurdity balanced by its gasp-out-loud thrills, Air Force One at least beats the campaign-finance investigations for excitement and political relevance.
