Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rodney McDonald directed nine action films in six years, all direct-to-video. This was his 'prestige' project with the slightly bigger plane budget.
Released nine months before 9/11, the plane-as-weapon premise became accidentally uncomfortable viewing. The film vanished from rotation afterward.
