In the realm of presidential action films, 'Air Force One' stands out for its gripping portrayal of a hijacking scenario. Harrison Ford's portrayal of a resolute president is commendable, grounded in a sense of duty and calm under pressure that resonates with my own professional experiences. The film's technical aspects, particularly the depiction of the aircraft and its capabilities, are impressively accurate, making it an engaging watch for an aviation enthusiast. However, it slightly falters in its depiction of the military response protocols, which are dramatized for effect. Nonetheless, the film's tense atmosphere and Ford's performance make it a solid addition to my library.
