Trivia:
This is the first film that Jerry Bruckheimer produced without the late Don Simpson. The new Jerry Bruckheimer Films logo was featured for the very first time in front of this film. moreGoofs:
Crew or equipment visible: Repeated several times through the movie, you can see the camera and light screens reflected - this is mainly present during the closeups of the actors in the police/military helicopters. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Officer at Leaving Ceremony: Army Rangers have a proud history. Since the 1700s, Rangers have led the way in every major confrontation in which the United States has been involved. You men are a credit to that fine heritage, and I'm sorry to see you go. But you've served your country well...

"Con Air" can best be described as "The Rock" in the sky. The film deals with a Gulf War veteran (Nicolas Cage) who becomes a victim of circumstance and is sentenced to eight years in prison. He is going home via a gigantic prison plane which is also carrying some very unsavory characters (John Malkovich, Ving Rhames, and Steve Buscemi among others). Of course the evil prisoners take over the plane and it is up to Cage to save the day. Overall this is a fine action film which keeps its focus on the characters. 4 out of 5 stars.
