"Executive Decision"

I know it's been around for a while, but I've never seen this until recently. What a well done, nail-biting hijacking movie. In the film, a group of hijackers takes over a flight from London heading to Washington, D.C. Mid-flight, the plane is surreptitiously boarded by a group of Navy Seals. The terrorists have a bomb and a huge cache of nerve gas on board. When their demands are met, they decide to go rogue and are determined to unleash the lethal gas on D.C. So it's the usual race against the clock. But there are so many twists and turns, the movie keeps you guessing until the final few minutes. And while some 20-year old movies of this genre might be dated, I think this one has held up pretty well.
3.5 out of 5 stars
