PASSENGER 57 (!992):
80 minutes
Air travel is safest, the FAA says. But the FAA never figured the risk with Charles Rane on board. "The Rane of Terror" has masterminded four terrorist attacks. Soon there will be a fifth - and that's bad news for passengers on Flight 163. But there's good news too: the man in seat 57!
Wesley Snipes (U.S. Marshals, Demolition Man) earns his wings in this exciting airborne adventure. He plays John Cutter, an undercover security operative who enters the lavatory and exits to find Rane (
Bruce Payne) and his gang have taken over. Cutter's next move is clear. Do. Or be done to. If it's action you seek, Passenger 57 is the only way to fly!
DEMOLITION MAN (1993):
110 minutes
Sylvester Stallone and
Wesley Snipes go at it amid a dazzling cyber-future in this explosive hit. In 2032 archcriminal Simon Phoenix (Snipes) awakens from a 35-year deep freeze in CryoPrison to find a serene, nonviolent Los Angeles ready for the taking. Unable to deal with Phoenix's brutal 1990s style, officials seek an old-fashioned cop to fight old-fashioned crime. They revive Sgt. John Spartan (Stallone), unjustly serving a CryoPrision sentence because of his last encounter with Phoenix.
Sandra Bullock and Benjamin Pratt (TV's Law and Order) also uphold the law in this "terrific mix of action and humor" )Joel Siegel, Good Morning America/ABC-TV).
