Broken Arrow

Hotshot bomber pilot Vic Deakins goes AWOL with two US Air Force nuclear missiles. His co-pilot Riley Hale must find the bombs before Deakins can put his blackmail plan into effect. Pacy action thriller., John Woo brought all his Hong Kong martial arts movie knowledge to this film and it positively jumps off the screen. The plot is fairly thin; John Travolta plays air force pilot Major Vic ‘Deak’ Deakins, Christian Slater his number two Captain Riley Hale. Deakins, a traitor, crashes their Stealth bomber, steals the nuclear warheads and sets off to meet his terrorist masters. Hale follows in pursuit, helped by glamorous park ranger Terry Carmichael and, of course, assumed by the authorities to be in on the plot. Cue car chases, fights on moving (and burning) trains, gunfights galore and the constant threat of the weapons being exploded en route.

But, after first being welcomed into the fold by Cochise, and even marrying the chief’s daughter, old racial problems resurface., In a nondescript boxing ring, two fighters square off. Suddenly, fists in boxing gloves, they rush at each other – and us – with explosive force. The intensity of the combatants’ blows belies the fact that they are friends engaging in a spirited round of fisticuffs. Vic Deakins, the older and more experienced of the two is definitely in control, giving his friend Riley Hale an impressive, if painful, boxing lesson. In addition to having a mentor/protégé relationship in the ring, the two are colleagues — crack military pilots who are about to be handed a choice assignment to fly the top-secret B-3 Stealth bomber on a test run.
