Editor's Note
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.

5 of 5 Nick Cage rocks in this film! Thursday, February 24, 2000
JdL31Playa from Sandusky,Ohio
This is definately one of Cage's all time best movies! Not only does he play the best innocent convict but throws a killer accent at you,too. If you are a male, this is a must have! Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Excellent Movie Sunday, October 31, 1999
toms6928 from Huntington, Indiana
Had to go see this movie twice at the theatre, loaded with the stars I like and full of action. Was one of the better movies ive had the pleasure of going to the movies to see. My only complaint with the movie on DVD is its in widescreen. When are the studios going to realize we are SICK of WIDESCREEN movies. At least have both versions on the same disc or give the option to buy the full frame. Was this review helpful?

keribroom from Fort Mill, South Carolina
I absolutely loved John Malcovich in this movie. His character was the epitome of a highly intelligent psychopath. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Con Air kicks butt Thursday, June 17, 1999
A Viewer from San Francisco, CA
If you're a Jerry Bruckhiemer fan...this is a must own. The action, story, sound, and dark comedy is a riot. You'll watch this one again and again. Was this review helpful?
