As Cutter and Marti prepare to escape upon touchdown, Marti is caught by Forget and he kicks Cutter out of the plane. Cutter trips circuitry to dump the plane's fuel, forcing Rane to order the surviving pilots to land at a small Louisiana airfield. Cutter dispatches another of Rane's men, Vincent, who is disguised as a caterer. Cutter realizes he is outmatched and escapes with Marti to the cargo hold, while Rane kills the henchman that Cutter overpowered, ranting his "incompetence". Cutter, in the lavatory at the time, manages to use the plane's on-board phone to warn Delvecchio of the situation, but Cutter is soon caught by one of Rane's henchmen.Ĭutter overpowers the henchman and takes his weapon he then uses the agent (in a chokehold) as a shield to confront Rane, but an indifferent Rane shows his ruthlessness by mercilessly murdering a passenger in cold blood. After the flight takes off, several henchpersons in Rane's employ, posing as flight attendants and passengers, kill the FBI agents, release Rane, and secure the plane by also killing the captain. Rane and his two FBI escorts are also aboard.
Cutter is reluctant, but Delvecchio and the company's president, Stuart Ramsey ( Bruce Greenwood), eventually convince him to accept the offer.Ĭutter boards as the 57th passenger on an Atlantic International flight to Los Angeles (a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar), where one of his students, Marti Slayton (Datcher), is one of the flight attendants. After one class, Cutter is approached by an old friend, Sly Delvecchio ( Tom Sizemore), who offers Cutter the vice presidency of a new antiterrorism unit for his company, Atlantic International Airlines.

Widowed and reputed police officer, decorated soldier, and retired U.S.
The FBI make plans to return Rane to Los Angeles for him to stand trial.
