◆ summary:

U.S. President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) delivers a passionate speech in a large room filled with Russian dignitaries saying that he will no longer tolerate the human rights abuses recently committed by fascist dictator General Radek in Kazakhstan. In addition, Marshall praises the performance of the joint Russian-American operation to arrest General Radek as a signal of a general war targeting political dictatorship. After this speech, Marshall boards the presidential plane, ‘Air Force One’, to return to Washington with his wife (played by Wendy Crowson) and daughter (played by Liesle Matthews). However, the plane is hijacked by terrorists led by Valera (Gary Oldman), disguised as a Russian journalist. Their purpose is to release the detained dictator General Radek. However, the Vice President of the White House (Glenn Close), who knows that hundreds or thousands more people will be killed if General Radek is released, falls into a helpless situation, and the United States’ powerful military power also faces an awkward situation. The task of stopping these terrorist atrocities rests entirely on the shoulders of one man: James Marshall, President of the United States. His courage and conviction that he will not tolerate even the slightest compromise with terrorism are put to the test when his family is detained together on the presidential plane…

◆ subject:

It is a typical Hollywood movie about American heroism, with the president directly suppressing terrorists and righteous Americans sacrificing their lives generously to save the president, but it is definitely entertaining. Critics’ reviews were generally favorable, calling it a ‘highly completed and thrilling entertainment film.’ The situation of the United States, which became the world’s only superpower in the 1990s after the end of the Cold War, was well reflected. At that time, the United States experienced a great economic boom under the Clinton administration. Not only did its Cold War rival, the Soviet Union, fall, but Japan, once predicted to soon overtake the United States, collapsed due to the collapse of its bubble, and its rival disappeared in the 1990s. It was no exaggeration to say that the United States was the world’s only superpower, boasting enormous authority. . This reality is reflected in the movie released in 1996. <인디펜던스 데이> It also appears well on the back. From the Russian audience’s point of view, this is somewhat shocking content. The terrorists who appear as villains in the story are from the former Soviet Union/Russia, and the enemy planes that appear in the latter half are Russian-made MiG-29s and are shot down by an American F-15. In addition, compared to the American president, who appears as the main character in the story and plays an active role, Russian President Petrov is shown passively cooperating with the United States. It was nominated for Best Sound and Best Editing at the 70th Academy Awards.
