7:00 When I were younger I was horrified when the pilots refused to comply. I simply didn't comprehend how anyone could have the will to resist when their own lives depended on it. Now that I'm older I realize that many people really are that strong. That some would make the ultimate sacrifice even when the cause seemed hopeless. This is without a doubt amongst the greatest sequences in cinema history.
I’m sure any ordinary pilot would comply, but these pilots have the task of flying the plane which holds the president, they are trained to follow no one else’s commands no matter what.
6:38 best thing about this entire landing sequence is that's a real plane with a custom paint job to match the real AFO, there's barely any CGI (aside from a couple when it's on the ground like 7:36, 8:01, 8:22 and 8:39). Everything else is real, 6:39, 6:47, 6:57, 7:02, 7:10, 7:14, 7:18, 7:21, 7:29, 7:56, 8:11, 8:20, 8:25 and 8:41). back when film makers still made an effort
I think the F-15s starting up, taxiing and taking off at full burner was real. The 6 ship rejoin was CGI. Staying in burner the whole time with one bag on the centre pylon? Betty's not gonna be happy!
No that comes when they do the aerial refueling. Elya Baskin doesn't get enough credit for his roles. He was the second in command for the majority of this movie and yet he's only remembered for 'Rent' in some minor role elsewhere.
They actually seemed shocked that they would attempt to land and their inside guy didn't tell them that he would have to call in the code red and it seemed they didn't know the cockpit door could be locked, he kind of hurringly thought about blowing the lock
i thought the explosive was C4, if they had used tnt it would've destroyed the cockpit and everyone in it, and they also stick it on the door indicating that it is a plastic explosive.
@@Dnbray The inside guy went all the way to make sure that he protected himself from being detected. Also the cockpit is always locked. I think they were just giving it an extra lock.
@@GoldBanks60 Cockpits were NOT locked prior to 9/11. Cast iron fact. In any case, decision was made to have locked doors as standard post 9/11, I am old and remember the whole thing
There was a million ways to land the plane once the wheels touched down. The pilots were buckled into their seats and the terrorists were not. All they had to do was slam on the footpedal brakes and the terrorists go splat into the windshield.
the thumbnail for this video is so freaking hilarious lol the guy on the left is temper tantrum while the guy on the right is so nonchalant in expression when he sees the president escaping.
Never noticed this before, but at 3:43, they spliced in some random footage of Marshall evading the terrorists on his own a little later 😂 still love this flick. Classic 👌
The ultra-dramatic and blatantly incorrect radio phraseology is so cringe! I think the correct phraseology is: Lagen Radar: Air Force One, turn left 1-8-5, descend and maintain 5000, Ramstein altimeter is 29.92 (assuming ICAO standard weather), expect vectors ILS runway 09, squawk 7500 and ident, number one for emergency landing AFO PM: Left 1-8-5, descend 5000, will expect vectors ILS RWY 09 for emergency landing, squawk 7500 and ident, Air Force One
the terrorists most likely would've demanded the plane be refueled, which would've given the pentagon time to mobilize a strike team, whether or not that would've worked is unknown, especially with the president and his family still on board.
I love this movie and every time I watch this scene I still love watching all the people who are making a sacrifice to try and save the president and the plane. I still hope every time that they successfully land. I’m always disappointed lol
Ivan Egor Korshunov: [shouting angrily in a demanding tone while hitting/knocking on the door to Air Force One's cockpit] "OPEN THE DOOR!!! OPEN THE DOOR!!! OPEN THE DOOR!!!!"
2:42 President James Marshall: what's going on Secret Service Agent: shots fired sir President James Marshall: my family what about my family Secret Service Agent: we're handling it sir
Did anyone notice that they re-looped the sound of the guy going "Argh! Jesus!"? once in the plane where a bag falls out and again with the officer in the control tower.
More like Hollywood physics and the AFO Col PM didn't set the park brake, he deployed the spoilers. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, spoilers would have deployed, AF1 PF sets max thrust reverse, autobrake would have engaged, movie over. Also, engage the park brake on a high speed landing roll, AF1 is a fireball.
3:51 I remember sitting in the theater and reflecting on how that Secret Service agent must have known that he was going to die, and yet, his only concern was holding off the terrorists long enough for the President to escape. By the way ... There were a few times during this movie that I wondered what anyone would hope to accomplish by firing a gun at a bulletproof door. I guess when you're desperate, you'll try anything you can think of.

The door never fully closes. IMDb mentions that you can see Marshall climbing a ladder, if you look carefully, but after going slo mo- I just noticed that they failed to close the door. Son while the last agent is engaged , he got out.
Personally the editing of the Vice Pres saying "how did they get AF1" when its still in progress always seemed odd to me, shouldve been after the terrorists take the cockpit
0:46 I'm actually surprised he drew his pistol. This scenario is just about the least likely you can imagine. An agent on the presidential detail(implied to be among the leads) vetted and all going rogue inside AF1. This guy instead of saying 'WTF is going on?' he immediately drew his sidearm.
To be fair they were caught off guard, had only their handguns, and no body armor. The terrorists had automatic weapons and body armor. Not their fault one of their own turned traitor
@@jessedellross3245 not sure if you have seen the show NCIS but Gibbs was up against a traitor with a machine gun. Plus he chose a handgun instead of an automatic weapon. Imagine if he was in the movie
I understand the real Air force carries no weapons. President's Air Force Colonel doesn't carry it on board. This I don't understand not even handguns.
TRIVIA: The plane used as AF1 is N703CK, owned by Kalitta Air. It was repainted to replicate AF1's livery and during filming at LAX, it caused a commotion, with every LA resident looking at it, thinking the president was visiting.
According to IMDB/script, he was upset about US intervention over Afghanistan (via Pakistan) as well as other hegemonic US actions over the 80s. The movie’s long enough, but even a little background/flashback would’ve done a lot to add to Ivan’s speech about the geopolitical realities of Russia in the mid 90s?
People don't seem to understand that suppressors don't "silence" a weapon, they merely eliminate the echo effect of an un-supressed round. The sound is still very much audible out to a range of 50 yards, it just doesn't sound like a BOOM.
The First Officer should have known better. Doing what the attackers want wasn't going to save your life, he still died. I would rather die trying or having saved my people. But then again, people in movies never learn 😂
Bill Pullman in Independence Day was pretty good too. Leading the armed forces into battle like the kings did in medieval times, also that speech. You have to be an NPC robot unit to not shed a tear at that speech.
once the plane landed, they would have locked the planes system out from anyone being able to use them. But just incase they didnt, once they were informed the president had gotten away the plane and all on board would be expendable and they would have crashed the plane itself on the runway to prevent the hijackers from taking control of it.
There is no way to lock down controls of the flight deck, the entire deck is designed *to* allow control The only thing they could've done is to pull the fire extinguishers for the engines, shutting them down, with (almost) no way of spooling them up again, at least not for takeoff. That, or another irreversible action. It's very hard to fuck up a plane from the flight deck, including lock-outs. Also, there's no telling that these hijackers also knew of that button, and would shoot as soon as they reached for it
The fighters were still in the air. There's no way that AF1 would have made a turn like that on tarmac and not rolled over, collapsed the wheel struts.
I know it’s a movie but still this plot was so unrealistic having Gibbs as a mole. Eventually All the evidence would have led back to him. How was he going to live his life afterwards. The Russians would’ve killed him if they succeeded with the mission to cover up everything. If a man can betray his country and leader how will the enemy trust him. Still a great movie but one man couldn’t pull off that kind of mission. The entire service would have to be in on it.
I know it’s just a fun action movie, but it’s such bad writing that we never learned why the traitor actually turned. How do you leave that out? It’s the biggest plot hole and the reason why Air Force One is a major step below many similar movies, despite a good cast.
Fun fact: the Russian screaming “NOOOO” 2:47 is American actor Andrew Divoff. He usually plays bad guys and has been in a ton of movies. One of his first was as the Russian anti-submarine pilot in “Hunt for Red October”, a hells angel in “Another 48 Hours” and he was also the leader of the Columbian terrorists in “Toy Soldiers”.
@@coolcat6303 He was the main villain in Wishmaster and he played General Krukov in Red Alert 3. Also in Wishmaster 2, two terrorists from Air Force One, Levan Uchaneishvili and Ilia Volok, are playing Mr. Pushkin and his bodyguard. Ilia Volok appeared also in Executive Decision as one of the Chechen terrorists, Vladimir Kamarivsky in Battlefield 3 and the Russian Leader in G.I. Joe: Retaliation Levan Uchaneishvili appeared in Independence Day as a Russian pilot during the Morse code scene and uncle Nikolai in Spike Lee’s 25th Hour
Why not climb, to put people off-balance, and have a Pilots button to push, that cuts the Oxygen to Minimal amounts for continuing living? They'll land a plane full of asleep people. The Pres can have an O2 tank. Even if the bad guys smuggled some onbord, they'd only last for minutes. Again, don't deplete ALL O2, only to about 10-15 %. You'll wake up with a headache, but "opening a window" at 20,000 and climbing would work. (Might be cold, might ruin your contacts)...
Oxygen masks would've deployed if there was a loss of cabin pressure. The best the pilots could've managed was to dive towards the nearest airbase. If only they had 60 more seconds they could've had the plane stopped and engines shut down.
2:31 if the good guys just had a freaking flash bang grenade it would’ve been all over right then and there. Also why in the world does (A) all of the secret service have hand guns. You can legit conceal several SMGs like Uzis for instance, and small shotguns in suits and suitcases can hold foldable parts rifles and other weapons. (B) none of them have armor under their suits (C) there is legit only one area in airplane with an Arsenal (D) hardly anyone in the secret service aims for aims for head, pelvic area or legs. (E) no one has concealed grenades flash bangers and/or other devices of that nature.
All the people saying why didn't they do X so they could not take off again. ( 1 it's a movie. 2. People under stress don't always do what they should. Hindsight is 20 20 Your not noticing plot holes your nit picking)
Those first round of automatic bullets would pierce the aircraft cabin and there'd be explosive decompression. I guess the script writers were stoned at this point.
I mean... the entire sequence is raft with -- shall we say -- fantasy elements? Luckily on this, we just have to assume everyone was such a good shot that bullets only struck people or internal structures. ;)
I've already got the cast for my remake. The cast includes Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Alyssa Milano, Scott Wolf, Richard Armitage, Katee Sackhoff, Liev Schreiber, Alfe Woodard, Bryan Cranston, Holly Hunter, Richard Schiff, Bruce McGill, Richard Jenkins, James Remar, Peter Mensah, James Cromwell, Rade Serbedzija, Tcheky Karyo, and Dwayne Johnson 😀 😄 👍.

Amazing that the first thing he says when the firefight began was “where’s my family” it shows he a husband and a father first.
People don't seem to understand that suppressors don't "silence" a weapon, they merely eliminate the echo effect of an un-supressed round. The sound is still very much audible out to a range of 50 yards, it just doesn't sound like a BOOM.
Igor:Hurry he is in the escape pod 4:21
*the president escapes (but it isn’t)*
IGOR: 🙁😢
BORIS: 😡🤬
It’s amazing that not one bullet penetrated the fuselage and cause the cabin pressure to change 😂😂😂
3:42 what the hell is this random shot
Probably a glitch or an attempt to evade the site's Content ID.
1:03. Gibbs plants the explosive putty Korschnov used to blow up cockpit door lock
Never noticed
The First Officer should have known better. Doing what the attackers want wasn't going to save your life, he still died. I would rather die trying or having saved my people. But then again, people in movies never learn 😂
Most of all impressive on takeoff with the flaps still in the 30 degree angle. Is there any pilots here to chime in 8:50
You absolutely can take off with full flaps. However, it is definitively not recommended.
@@BlackFoxFalcon interesting
Of all presidents in the movies _ Mr Ford, is the best one.
Bill Pullman in Independence Day was pretty good too. Leading the armed forces into battle like the kings did in medieval times, also that speech. You have to be an NPC robot unit to not shed a tear at that speech.
3:43 a shot spliced in from later in the movie
I noticed too 😂😂😂
once the plane landed, they would have locked the planes system out from anyone being able to use them. But just incase they didnt, once they were informed the president had gotten away the plane and all on board would be expendable and they would have crashed the plane itself on the runway to prevent the hijackers from taking control of it.
There is no way to lock down controls of the flight deck, the entire deck is designed *to* allow control
The only thing they could've done is to pull the fire extinguishers for the engines, shutting them down, with (almost) no way of spooling them up again, at least not for takeoff. That, or another irreversible action. It's very hard to fuck up a plane from the flight deck, including lock-outs.
Also, there's no telling that these hijackers also knew of that button, and would shoot as soon as they reached for it
0:45 just noticed our traitor's name being said
Eine so großartiger Film mit einer großartigen Besetzung an Schauspielerin
The fighters were still in the air. There's no way that AF1 would have made a turn like that on tarmac and not rolled over, collapsed the wheel struts.
5:57 you guys already knew that a gun fight was happening and yet those soliders were still not armed with guns and were still on there computers?
2:17 Oof, that guy took one to the nuts.
4:28 It's the Djin from the Wishmaster movies.
@35 seconds, smooth as silk
That's some next level 74 piloting!
I know it’s a movie but still this plot was so unrealistic having Gibbs as a mole. Eventually All the evidence would have led back to him. How was he going to live his life afterwards. The Russians would’ve killed him if they succeeded with the mission to cover up everything. If a man can betray his country and leader how will the enemy trust him. Still a great movie but one man couldn’t pull off that kind of mission. The entire service would have to be in on it.
I know it’s just a fun action movie, but it’s such bad writing that we never learned why the traitor actually turned. How do you leave that out? It’s the biggest plot hole and the reason why Air Force One is a major step below many similar movies, despite a good cast.
4:34 that scene was Way more scarier than it looked. Holy shit. 😢
Glenn Close is so underrated in this movie.
I definitely would want Harrison Ford, _ as the president of America.
Fun fact: the Russian screaming “NOOOO” 2:47 is American actor Andrew Divoff. He usually plays bad guys and has been in a ton of movies. One of his first was as the Russian anti-submarine pilot in “Hunt for Red October”, a hells angel in “Another 48 Hours” and he was also the leader of the Columbian terrorists in “Toy Soldiers”.
@@coolcat6303 He was the main villain in Wishmaster and he played General Krukov in Red Alert 3. Also in Wishmaster 2, two terrorists from Air Force One, Levan Uchaneishvili and Ilia Volok, are playing Mr. Pushkin and his bodyguard.
Ilia Volok appeared also in Executive Decision as one of the Chechen terrorists, Vladimir Kamarivsky in Battlefield 3 and the Russian Leader in G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Levan Uchaneishvili appeared in Independence Day as a Russian pilot during the Morse code scene and uncle Nikolai in Spike Lee’s 25th Hour
Missed my fav series CINEMA CINEMA CINEMA..
4:30 the president does his middle finger gesture in the pod before it drops.
He isn't in the pod
B747 can takeoff 🛫 even there is limited runway space😄 wow !
Why not climb, to put people off-balance, and have a Pilots button to push, that cuts the Oxygen to Minimal amounts for continuing living?
They'll land a plane full of asleep people.
The Pres can have an O2 tank.
Even if the bad guys smuggled some onbord, they'd only last for minutes.
Again, don't deplete ALL O2, only to about 10-15 %. You'll wake up with a headache, but "opening a window" at 20,000 and climbing would work. (Might be cold, might ruin your contacts)...
probably should of dumped the fuel as they were coming in
Oxygen masks would've deployed if there was a loss of cabin pressure. The best the pilots could've managed was to dive towards the nearest airbase. If only they had 60 more seconds they could've had the plane stopped and engines shut down.
2:31 if the good guys just had a freaking flash bang grenade it would’ve been all over right then and there.
Also why in the world does
(A) all of the secret service have hand guns. You can legit conceal several SMGs like Uzis for instance, and small shotguns in suits and suitcases can hold foldable parts rifles and other weapons.
(B) none of them have armor under their suits
(C) there is legit only one area in airplane with an Arsenal
(D) hardly anyone in the secret service aims for aims for head, pelvic area or legs.
(E) no one has concealed grenades flash bangers and/or other devices of that nature.
Movie can’t happen with any of those realities acknowledged; the practically unacknowledged traitor in Gibbs can only get you so far?
6:33 Air Force One is preparing for landing
All the people saying why didn't they do X so they could not take off again. (
1 it's a movie.
2. People under stress don't always do what they should. Hindsight is 20 20
Your not noticing plot holes your nit picking)
best movie to decribe a presidential hijack
Those first round of automatic bullets would pierce the aircraft cabin and there'd be explosive decompression. I guess the script writers were stoned at this point.
I mean... the entire sequence is raft with -- shall we say -- fantasy elements?
Luckily on this, we just have to assume everyone was such a good shot that bullets only struck people or internal structures. ;)
It’s mentioned air-force one is bullet proof.
@@Ohmygodstfu2045But from the inside as well?
And as the MIGs later on can attest to, not to all weapons…
Airforce ❤
Four years later it happened for real in 9.11
Talk about tempting fate!
I am surprised .... no i am admired ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
I want a remake with Biden and Kamala
I've already got the cast for my remake. The cast includes Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Alyssa Milano, Scott Wolf, Richard Armitage, Katee Sackhoff, Liev Schreiber, Alfe Woodard, Bryan Cranston, Holly Hunter, Richard Schiff, Bruce McGill, Richard Jenkins, James Remar, Peter Mensah, James Cromwell, Rade Serbedzija, Tcheky Karyo, and Dwayne Johnson 😀 😄 👍.
The movie would've ended when Biden falls off of the stairs
He shits on guy with gun to his head as self-defense...
🤦♂️
