Air Force One action film to air on German television

The 1997 action film ‘Air Force One’, directed by the late Wolfgang Petersen, is scheduled for broadcast on the German television station VOX on Thursday, August 13.

The film stars Harrison Ford as US President James Marshall, who must fight off Russian terrorists, led by a character played by Gary Oldman, after they seize control of the presidential aircraft. The plot involves the terrorists attempting to force the release of a dangerous general.

Reports note that former US President Bill Clinton was reportedly a fan of the film, highlighting the cinematic portrayal of American patriotism often explored by German directors like Petersen and Roland Emmerich.
