Executive Decision

“Five miles above the earth, an elite team of six men must make an air to air transfer, in order to save 400 lives on board a 747...and 40 million below.”

A 747 bound for Washington D.C. is seized by terrorists who demand the release of their imprisoned leader. David Grant (Kurt Russell), an intelligence analyst who suspects there is another reason behind it, is pulled onto a special assault team under Lt. Colonel Austin Travis (Steven Seagal). Stuart Baird sends them after the plane with a single night to get aboard, and the passengers have only that long.
