Compañía:

Trivialidades:

Originally developed at Paramount, the studio put the project in turnaround and sold to Warner Bros. in exchange for the rights and screenplay to Forrest Gump (1994). Executive Decision was considered a hot project while Forrest Gump was going through multiple problems with the script and casting. In addition, some Warner executives were afraid that the success of Rain Man (1988) would preempt Gump due to the perceived similarities of the projects' subject material (both involved lead characters with mental disabilities).

Errores:

Boquete en la Historia: Nagi's hand-drawn target map shows no ground features but rivers, is labeled in Arabic, and is only for his own use, yet for no reason it also shows "WASHINGTON, D.C." in English... enabling Jean to understand its significance.

Citas:

Rat: I hope there's a good movie on this flight.

Terror in the air that rates a look-see.

Action packed story of a group of commandos that board a 747 mid flight and attempt to overcome the terrorists who've taken control. Kurt Russell, the non-military interloper, has to take charge of the situation in Steven Segal's absence. Good entertainment and faults aside, well worth a look. Rating 6/10
