DROP ZONE (Released to Theaters USA 1994)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  Drop Zone—run-of-the-mill—uses sky diving to drive the movie's story. The film seems to be promoting the sport of sky diving rather than purposing to entertain. It's a suitable to okay watch. Nothing new or particularly inspiring about this movie.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline United States marshals are transporting a criminally convicted  computer hacker to another prison. The plane is hijacked by terrorists who take the computer hacker to use in high level computer theft crimes. Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director John Badham for directing effort. Thank you to Producers D. J. Caruso, Wallis Nicita, and Lauren Lloyd for making the film possible. Casting includes Wesley Snipes, Gary Busey, Yancy Butler, and Michael Jeter. Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The sky diving is a treat to see, but the film is not a high quality production.
