Nicolas Cage’s 1997 film Con Air is easily one of my favorite action films from the 90s. I love that flick, I still enjoy watching it! It was just such a great and entertaining film. We just don’t see movies like this anymore.

In the story, Cage plays a prisoner on board of a transfer plane that happens to be transporting some of the most deadly criminals in the world. Cage’s character, Cameron Poe, is being released and he just wants to get home for his daughters birthday. Unfortunately, the prisoners hijack the plane and he has to stop them from escaping.

The movie has such a wonderfully ridiculous premise, but it’s staked with an awesome cast that includes John Malkovich, John Cusack, Mykelti Williamson, Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, Dave Chappelle, M.C. Gainey, and Colm Meaney.

The Screen Junkies have released a new episode of Honest Trailers for us to enjoy and it amusingly points out all of the reasons why we love this movie!
