Con Air

Con Air (1997) is Simon West's high-octane action thriller, free to watch online on iFILM. Nicolas Cage stars as Cameron Poe, a former Army Ranger paroled after eight years for a manslaughter he never meant to commit.

All Poe wants is to fly home to the wife and daughter he has never met. Unluckily for him, his transport plane is also carrying the worst convicts in the country to a brand-new maximum-security prison. Midair, the inmates seize control. The mastermind is a coldly brilliant killer, Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, played by John Malkovich at his most menacing. Poe plays along from the inside to protect the surviving guards and keep his shot at freedom alive. On the ground, U.S. Marshal Vince Larkin, played by John Cusack, races to stop a bloodbath.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer stacked the villains with Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi and Danny Trejo. The movie earned two Academy Award nominations and became a template for the loud, quotable nineties blockbuster. Stream Con Air (1997) online on iFILM.
