Air Rage [WS]
Marine fighter pilot Sykes (Cyril O'Reilly) and his three fellow pilots are on trial in a military court, accused of massacring innocent civilians in a fiery raid against South American drug smugglers. Sykes makes a plea bargain that keeps his men from prison, but in court, the politically motivated General Prescott (Alex Cord) reneges on the deal and sends them all to prison -- Sykes for life. The pilots escape the clutches of the feds, only to wind up as passengers on a commercial 747 flight that includes Prescott. Sykes and his men commandeer the plane, asking for $100 million in ransom. But they weren't counting on feisty flight attendant Kelly (Kim Oja) putting up quite the fight she does with a coffee pot, or the delivery by Stealth aircraft of Matt Marshall (Ice-T) and his elite counter-terrorist unit. Viewers should fasten their safety belts and place all weapons in the safety mode for landing.

Review
Add this to the growing list of films either directed, produced, or co-produced by Jim Wynorski, also known as Noble Henry and four other noms de plume. Wynorski, the co-producer of Air Rage, is a one-man B-movie factory cut from the same slice of celluloid as Roger Corman (Wynorski was a Corman employee at one time), and by now his films have a certain shared style, even the ones he doesn't direct. This time out, Ed Raymond gets the directing credit, but it's clearly a Wynorski film. Ice-T is the nominal star, even though he doesn't show up until the second half, and even then he and his men are so incompetent that their interference in the hijacking is more of an irritant than anything else. The burden of saving the lives of everyone, Die Hard-style, is on the comely shoulders of flight attendant Kelly, played by Kim Oja with just the right amount of vulnerable strength. If viewers can believe this, they'll enjoy the rest of the film, which has just enough dangerous action to overcome the scenes of outrageous silliness. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie GuideCredits
