This film speaks to the claustrophobia and dehumanization that goes along with imprisonment, as well as the inevitable lost feeling one must cope with after breaking free and finding their place in the world. What makes it almost unbearable for viewers is that we are forced to witness our heroes experience those sensations while knowing they've done nothing to deserve the trials they've been given. Robert Duvall and Charles Bronson star in this classic prison break film that is often overlooked in spite of the fact it was one of the first major studio films to take on a pretty important development in film marketing - "saturation booking." The strategy consists of releasing a heavy amount or prints at once and preceding it with a major advertising campaign in the opening week. It's pretty much commonplace in the 21st Century, but in 1975, it was unheard of and resulted in a $7.5 million gross. The film ended up grossing $16 million altogether, which, when adjusted for 2016, is around $77 million. The story centers on a bush pilot (Bronson), who is hired by an innocent man's wife to break him out of a Mexican prison. The film also stars Jill Ireland, Randy Quaid, and Sheree North, and features a pretty cool ending complete with propeller decapitation.ĭuvall is Jay Wagner, the man doing a 28-year stint.

It's more like a complete body decapitation, which you can see here if you don't mind spoilers.Ĭon Air, Nicolas Cage's followup to The Rock, was also his second foray into big budget action movie territory.
Prior to these two films, the Francis Ford Coppola relative plied his trade in quieter films like It Could Happen to You, Leaving Las Vegas, Wild at Heart, Peggy Sue Got Married and Moonstruck. Thoughtful, funny, well-composed - Con Air shares none of these attributes with Cage's previous work, but it's definitely your movie if you like bad dialogue, worse acting, and over-the-top action sequences.
