Overview

When rogue stealth-fighter pilot Vic Deakins deliberately drops off the radar while on maneuvers, the Air Force ends up with two stolen nuclear warheads -- and Deakins's co-pilot, Riley Hale, is the military's only hope for getting them back. Traversing the deserted canyons of Utah, Hale teams with park ranger Terry Carmichael to put Deakins back in his box.

Rating 10/10

John Travolta and Christian Slater star as Air Force pilots in this loud, stylish, and relentlessly entertaining blockbuster. The film is packed with spectacular helicopter action, intense chases, brutal hand-to-hand fights, and John Woo’s signature flair for balletic gunplay and over-the-top set pieces. It’s big, dumb, fun inventive escapism with strong lead chemistry, massive scale, and 90s practical-stunts energy. Not the deepest movie ever made, but it delivers exactly what it promises with original plot.

Broken Arrow is part of the "Big Four" '90s Action Movies.
