About Con Air
- Released on June 06, 1997
'Con Air' is a high-octane action thriller that takes place primarily on a prison transport plane, nicknamed "Jailbird." The movie features a cast of memorable characters, including the protagonist Cameron Poe, played by Nicolas Cage. Poe is a former US Army Ranger who has just been newly-paroled and is eager to return to his wife and daughter. However, his journey home becomes a harrowing ordeal when he is forced to fly aboard the Jailbird, which is transporting some of the most dangerous and deadly criminals in the country to a new super-prison.
The plane is filled with a motley crew of criminals, but the real danger comes from the mastermind leading the group: Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, played by John Malkovich. Grissom is a genius serial killer who has orchestrated a daring skyjacking of the plane, taking it over in mid-flight and turning it into his own personal playground. He is a ruthless and cunning opponent, always thinking several steps ahead of the authorities and using his intelligence to outmaneuver them at every turn.
Poe finds himself in the midst of this dangerous situation, forced to navigate the treacherous waters of the skyjacking and protect himself and the other innocent passengers from the vicious criminals on board. With the help of a few unlikely allies, Poe must use all of his military training and resourcefulness to outsmart Grissom and his cronies, and bring the plane back to earth safely. Along the way, he must also confront his own demons and come to terms with the choices he has made in his life, making 'Con Air' not just an action-packed thrill ride, but also a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant film.
