Product Description

 
"Broken arrow" is a military term for a nuclear warhead that has been stolen -- and villainous Air Force pilot Vic Deakins (John Travolta) has done just that. In fact, he's pilfered TWO bombs, in an effort to extract a huge amount of cash from the government in exchange for their safe return. However, there's a fly in the ambitious thief's ointment: Riley Hale (Christian Slater), Vic's former co-pilot, whom Vic thought he had killed when he robbed the bombs. Helping Riley is gutsy female Park Ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis). Together the duo uses all the artillery, ammo, vehicles, and gumption they can muster, as they risk life and limb to thwart Vic and his vile gang. Hong Kong action specialist John Woo propels the film through trains, Humvees, exploding helicopters and more.

John Woo's -Broken Arrow -1996

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: There are too many flaws in this flick to recommend it highly. It is a decent action flick with Travolta in one of his best bad guy guises.
Review: This is one of those 'training wheels' films for a director learning to make Hollywood his own golden city. John Woo directed his first Hollywood flick, Hard Target with Claude Van Damme, in 1993. This is his second US effort.

I'm a fan...

Broken Arrow - Stick That Missile Where?!?!

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2000
Review: I was never a big fan of John Travolta. I?ve seen Saturday Night Fever and was not all that impressed. Of course I guess it would have helped if I were a disco baby and not a Gen-X?er. When Travolta came back with Pulp Fiction I was very impressed...

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.

A supersonic hit from renowned action director, John Woo, Broken Arrow is a breathless non-stop joyride. (Dennis Cunningham, WCBS-TV)

Format: DVD, Broken Arrow
In a nondescript boxing ring, two fighters square off. Suddenly, fists in boxing gloves rush at each other -- and us -- with explosive force. The intensity of the combatant's 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 young friend Riley Hale an impressive, if painful, boxing lesson.In addition to having a mentor/protege relationship in the ring, Deakins and Hale 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. Their cargo: two nuclear warheads. Although anything but routine, the mission should go without incident. But a shocking treachery is about to put millions of lives at risk as the timer on an incredible nuclear extortion plot ticks toward ground zero.
