Strategic Command is a 1997 air hijack direct-to-video film directed by Rick Jacobson, starring Michael Dudikoff, and co-starring Richard Norton, Paul Winfield, Bryan Cranston, and Stephen Quadros.[1] The film was written by Sean McGinly and Tripp Reed.[2]

Plot[edit]

Rick Harding (Michael Dudikoff) is a former US Marine officer, now working as biological weapons scientist for the FBI.[3] The movie starts, with Harding's lab being infiltrated, which results in terrorists getting their hands on a deadly nerve agent called Bromax 365. Led by Carlos Gruber (Richard Norton), the terrorists hijack Air Force Two (the aircraft of the Vice-president), a Boeing VC-25 en route from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. Harding must participate in a midair effort to retake Air Force Two and save the Vice President and his wife.[4]

Cast[edit]

Production and reception[edit]

The aircraft pictured in this film features the prototype Boeing 747 (in its red and black livery) and the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, changes from the original 1996 source film Executive Decision which shows an Oceanic Airlines 747 and the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk respectively.
