John Travolta is Vic Deakins, a bomber pilot who launches a devilish plan to hijack two nuclear missiles for big-time extortion. Vic never sweats, spews out great one-liners, knocks off money men with glee, toys with killing half a million people... he even smokes! If you giggled at his "Ain't it cool" line from the trailer, you're in the right frame of mind for this comedic action film. Never as gritty or semi-realistic--or for that matter as heart-thumping--as the original Die Hard , Broken Arrow still delivers. If Travolta is cast against type, everyone else is by the numbers; Christian Slater as Hale, the earnest copilot looking to foil the plot, Samantha Mathis as the brave park ranger caught in the middle, Frank Whaley as an eager diplomat, Delroy Lindo as a right-minded colonel. As with his previous script (the superior Speed ), writer Graham Yost moves everything quickly along as Hale and the ranger try to cut off Deakins's plan over a variety of terrains. We have plane crashes, car chases, a pursuit through an abandoned mine, a helicopter-train shootout, and lots of fighting between boys. Each time Hale finds himself perfectly in place to foil Deakins. You're suppose to laugh at the unbelievable situations. That's where Arrow is deceptive: its tone is right for the laughter compared to the mean-spirited Schwarzenegger and Stallone action films with labored jokes. Hong Kong master director John Woo ( The Killer , Hard Target ) pulls out all the stops--slow motion of Hale and Deakins's gymnastic gun play, nifty stunts, countdowns to doomsday. Woo may know action, but he needs more guidance in creating unique and stunning special effects. This is action entertainment at its cheesiest. Travolta and Woo later reteamed for Face/Off . --Doug Thomas When a B-3 Stealth Bomber crashes in the Utah desert during a top-secret test run, the military quickly moves in to retrieve its two "broken arrows." But the situation spins wildly out of control after one of the pilots reveals the crash to be part of an incredible nuclear extortion plot. Review: Great movie! - Great movie! Wonderful interaction between actors, great plot Review: Pure entertainment 90's style - It's not supposed to be realistic, it's an over the top action blockbuster epic masterpiece bookend with Face/Off. John Woo is the legendary Hong Kong auteur (Hard Boiled), who gets heightened performances from his stars and perfectly cast supporting characters like Howie Long & Mathis. Every normal American from 12 to 70 years old loved this movie when it came out. It makes every single Hollywood movie in the last 5 years look like garbage. If you don't like movies like this, it says more about you than about the movie. Killer one of a kind retro synth eighties meets Ennio Morricone soundtrack. Kinetic thrill ride spectacle that pays off in spades. How does he charge every scene with non-stop electricity? Never a dull moment. They don't make them like this anymore. If you want historical accuracy go watch Patton. One of the greatest action movies of all time, hands down.

FOR BIG SCREENS: BUY THE BLU RAY, NOT THE DVD
Docked one star for the DVD version not being redone for 16x9 TV's. It's still got the old school theatrical ratio which was fine years ago, but not for all the huge screen TV's out now. The DVD is fine for some TV's and not others. I have a TV with a 32" screen and the DVD fills the screen pretty well. My girlfriend has a TV with a huge screen and the DVD picture makes you think you're watching a "little bitty" picture in the middle of the screen. It was unwatchable as far as I'm concerned. The Blu Ray, on the other hand, fills both screens just fine. It's still in letterbox format even on my girlfriend's huge screen, but it fills nearly all of the screen and is just the right size to be able to watch and enjoy the movie. So, buyer beware if you opt for the DVD instead of the Blu Ray and you own a big screen TV. Other than that there's no need for me to review the movie. It's full of action and cliffhanger scenes, just don't watch it too critically. I consider it for all intents and purposes to be a Saturday-afternoon western with a modern setting and situations. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, so I'm very biased as to how good it is! Yes, there are some plot errors in the movie, but if you just watch it for the action and adventure, it has several breathtaking scenes.

A Thrilling Classic that Still Delivers the Action Goods
If you're a fan of classic action films, then "Broken Arrow" on Blu-ray is an absolute must-have. This 1996 film stars John Travolta and Christian Slater in a high-stakes adventure that combines adrenaline-fueled action with an intriguing plot. The film follows two Air Force pilots who are tasked with testing a new type of stealth bomber. But when one of the pilots goes rogue and steals the plane, the other must team up with a park ranger to stop him before he unleashes a deadly nuclear payload. One of the standout features of "Broken Arrow" is its impressive action sequences. From high-altitude dogfights to intense shootouts, the film is packed with heart-pumping moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The choreography and special effects still hold up today, making this film a true classic in the genre. But what really sets "Broken Arrow" apart is its unique take on the buddy-cop formula. John Travolta's villainous character is charismatic and unpredictable, providing a worthy foil for Christian Slater's hero. The two actors have great chemistry on screen, making for a dynamic and engaging relationship. The film also features impressive supporting performances from actors such as Samantha Mathis and Bob Gunton. The script is smart and well-written, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end. In terms of the Blu-ray release itself, the picture and sound quality are both outstanding. The high-definition transfer truly brings out the film's impressive visuals, and the sound mix is immersive and impactful. The release also includes a number of bonus features, including a making-of documentary and behind-the-scenes featurettes. In conclusion, "Broken Arrow" on Blu-ray is a must-have for fans of classic action films. Its impressive action sequences, engaging characters, and smart script make it a standout in the genre. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and entertaining viewing experience.

Decent action flick
Realistic? Probably not. But who cares? It's definitely entertaining. Christian Slater trying to stop Travolta from wiping Denver off the map with a stolen nuke. Howie Long plays his henchman. Great with pizza.
