Then came the botched siege on the Utah compound of radical cult leader Silas Jansen (William Forsythe, The Rock). It left an innocent child dead, destroyed Jack's career, and put a strain on an already tenuous relationship with his estranged wife Alicia (Lea Thompson, Back to the Future), employee of the Federal Aviation Administration. Now Jack's skills are unexpectedly challenged again when he finds himself aboard a domestic flight that's been hijacked by a man named Gilliad (Anthony Michael Hall,The Dead Zone), head of a terrorist organization called the People's Separatist Movement. The demand is the release of their leader Silas Jansen from prison. But the skies aren't the thing that the PSM has commandeered.
