MUMBAI: Star Movies would air the action packed Nicole Cage starrer Con Air on 26 June at 9 pm. The film is directed by Simon West.
Former war hero Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) is sentenced to eight years in prison when he accidentally kills a man in a barroom brawl while defending his pregnant wife. When his release comes through, he’s eager to see the daughter he’s never met.
However, Poe’s original flight is delayed, so he’s put aboard a flight transporting ten of the most dangerous men in the American penal system to a new high-security facility. One of the criminals, Cyrus “The Virus” Grissom (John Malkovich), is a serial killer and insane genius who has hatched a diabolical plot: with the help of several other hoods, Cyrus and his men will hijack the plane and fly to a neutral nation where they can live as free men.
Poe finds himself stuck in the middle; he has to find a way to get home, keep himself alive, look after his cellmate, who will die without proper medicine, and try to help the cops on the ground, including agent Vince Larkin (John Cusack).
