Of Harrison Ford’s many paternal roles, it’s Wolfgang Petersen’s political action thriller that has him saving his White House staff and family members from Russian terrorists who hijack the president’s plane.
As James Marshall, Ford shoots down the enemy (and memorably deploys Gary Oldman’s parachute) and delivers his wife and daughter to safety before evacuating the defunct aircraft.
