Con Air 2 (2025)

Nicolas Cage | John Cusack | Colm Meaney | Monica Potter

Con Air 2 soars into stratospheric mayhem as paroled ex-Ranger Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage, wild-eyed and wildly charismatic) boards a cutting-edge supersonic transport ferrying the world”s most notorious criminals to a remote supermax,

only for a meticulously planned hijack to transform the aircraft into a flying fortress hurtling toward a cartel rendezvous laden with bioweapons. Teaming with a principled U.S. Marshal (John Cusack, steady amid the storm) and a reformed inmate (Colm Meaney),

Poe navigates cabin-wide brawls with improvised weapons, mid-air fuel transfers gone explosively awry, and parachute descents into hostile territories, all while racing to prevent a global catastrophe.

The narrative revives “90s pulp with themes of second chances, the thin line between lawman and outlaw, and paternal devotion driving improbable heroism, enriched by flashbacks to Poe”s family life. The chaotic trailer thrills with zero-gravity fistfights in plummeting fuselages, engine detonations at Mach speeds, and Cage”s iconic manic energy. Con Air 2 reignites the cult classic with over-the-top spectacle and nostalgic grit, proving some flights are worth the turbulence.

Rating: 7.8/10
