Goofs:
Continuity: If it's sunset in some part of Europe it should be early afternoon in Washington, but we now see a clock labeled "WASHINGTON, DC" and showing 6:38. This is followed by a scene at Andrews Air Force Base where the short shadows are correct for early afternoon. All the action described so far in relation to the hijacking is supposed to occur within a couple of hours.

Slam-bang thriller is an intense, pulse-pounding thrill ride from beginning to end. Russell stars as a smart but inexperienced intelligence analyst who's given the task of a lifetime when he, along with a group of rugged special forces commandos, must board an American 747 in mid-air after it's hijacked by ruthless international terrorists. It's a race against time as they must not only ensure the safety of all the passengers, but retake the plane before it can reach the U.S. eastern seaboard. Swift direction, exciting, skillful action sequences, endless suspense, and rock solid performances make this wild ride of a movie a definite must for action fans. ***
