Flight Fights - Air Force One vs Executive Decision | AJP #8

For some reason, Hollywood produced a ton of airplane-set, big-budget action movies in the 90s. Today, we're comparing the two that are arguably the best, Executive Decision (1996) and Air Force One (1997). Released in back-to-back years, both films shared many similarities: setting, guns, music, terrorist baddies, illustrious leading men (Harrison Ford and Kurt Russell), and more. That said, it can be debated that one movie did it better than the other, and that's exactly what we're here to do.

Warning: We spoil both Air Force One and Executive Decision in this episode. They're a quarter of a century old, so we don't want to hear any complaints.
