considering that it was made in probably 1992, it’s more of a riff on die hard 1 and 2 but certainly not more of a ripoff than say, under siege or passenger 57, both came out in 1992. other than the opening, the climax also involves the stealth fighters.

Unfortunately, only the middle of the movie stays on the transporter plane. the way the bad guys board the plane will no doubt make you think of executive decision, which came out three, four years later. thankfully, the second act takes place on the transporter plane. there’s an ejection scene that reminds me of die hard 2: die harder. at this point it seems more like a top gun clone than anything else. it opens somewhat underwhelmingly with 12 minutes of flight footage. Interceptor is a pretty solid d-t-v action movie. the stealth fighters happen to be on the same transporter flight as winfield. as a punishment for crashing the plane, even though it’s not his fault, winfield is forced to take a commuter plane from turkey back to the u.s., meanwhile, australian villian phillips, played by jurgen prochnow, intends to steal the two stealth fighers. the technology didn’t quite work out and he is forced to eject from the stealth fighter leading it to crash. made in 1992 and released direct to video in 1993, and even though netflix has the worst plot summary and recommendation i’ve ever seen, interceptor is a pretty nice surprise for a direct to video die hard clone.Īndrew divoff plays captain christopher winfield, an air force officer testing the newest stealth fighter with virtual reality capacity.
the plot summary seemed to fit the die hard-ish category. I first came across interceptor through netflix’s hostage action category.
but with the asylum and the darwinism of movie distribution, nowadays even direct to video movies may have a decent budget, which in turn makes them less adventurous. they used to fall into either surprisingly good or extremely bad, not really a middle ground. though less true than it used to be, direct to video movies feels a lot like someone’s homemade movie. One of the reasons i am fascinated by direct to video movies is that most of the time, it’s a crapshoot.
