Story Synopsis:
Passenger 57 stars Wesley Snipes as John Cutter, a former anti-terrorist Secret Service agent and a championed undercover airline security operative. Cutter is hired by an airline to oversee its safeguard operations and instruct fellow employees about the “truth” behind airline safety. While on a flight, he coincidentally ends up on the same plane as FBI-escorted terrorist, Charles Rane (Bruce Payne). When Cutter steps into the lavatory, he emerges to discover that Rane and his fellow terrorists have taken control. It’s do or die action in the air and on the ground as Cutter uses his skills to save the day.
LaserDisc Picture:
This is a Panavision® scope composition that has been transferred to a 2.49:1 aspect ratio. The picture quality is sharp with good color balance throughout.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The dynamic and aggressive Dolby Surround® soundtrack is well matched to the action. The funky score by jazz-rocker Stanley Clarke is of CD quality. Especially impressive is the opening title montage piece with its powerful bass lines.
