Ford’s in vengeful, protective daddy mode here as a two-fisted President struggling to beat up and shoot terrorists that have hijacked his titular aircraft. Ford not only outsmarts and outfights the bad guys, he even out-catchphrases them. You’d have to go back to Charlton Heston or Gregory Peck to find an actor who could bellow “Get off my plane!” through clenched jaw and gritted teeth with as much conviction as Ford.
