“Thatu0026#39;s about it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOkay, okay. The plot, such as it is, goes like this: Our hero is a USAF pilot testing a u0026quot;Virtual Realityu0026quot; helmet in an F-117 over Turkey. It fails, and he barely has time to bail out before his plane crashes. Disgraced, heu0026#39;s sent home packing, along with the two remaining VR F-117 prototypes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhy are they testing it over Turkey? Why not Area 51? Why not *anywhere* in the United States? Because the long flight home means that the terrorists, led by u0026quot;Das Bootu0026quot; kapitan Jurgen Prochnow, can board through an air-to-air refueling line (!) and make a grab for the remaining two planes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou can figure out the rest. Our hero must sneak around the conveniently large ductwork of the C-5 transport, offing terrorists one by one, while the love interest (u0026#39;scuse me, the C-5u0026#39;s pilot) keeps trying to kick bad guys out of her cockpit and call on the radio for help.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s absolutely nothing innovative about this movie in the slightest. The action is mundane, the characters are cardboard, and the technical goofs are legion. Watch it only if you feel like having an u0026quot;MST3Ku0026quot; party at your house.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOr rent u0026quot;Air Force Oneu0026quot; and have a double-feature.”
