Take Flight With These 30 Aviation Movies, From Thrillers to Rom-Coms

In this late-'90s airplane action-thriller featuring Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, and John Malkovich, former US Ranger Cameron is eagerly headed home to see his wife after being paroled. However, his means of transportation is a prison transport plane, comedically nicknamed "Jailbird," which is also responsible (as you might have guessed from the name) for shuffling around some of the most dangerous and powerful criminals in the world. All hell breaks loose when serial killer Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (Malkovich) attempts to escape from captivity during the flight.
