      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Cliff Robertson is in big trouble...and not just for agreeing to be in this movie. His character, U.S. Vice President Pike has been involved in some illegal arms dealings, and presidential candidate Stuart Davis (Hedison) and Air Force liaison Jack Tyree (Bosworth) have evidence to prove it. While on board the Concorde with an incriminating computer disc, Jack and Stuart are hijacked

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture can be very nicely rendered, with colors that are well balanced throughout. However, the picture can appear a bit flat, at times, and is wanting in dimension. Images are sharp and detailed overall, with nicely rendered contrast and shadow delineation. Minor edge enhancement is noticed on occasion, but there are no other obtrusive distractions. Source element artifacts are scattered throughout the picture. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #116 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is my favorite magazine because it is different from all the other A/V magazines. The ads are better, and it seems like all the others (that I subscribe to) have the same boring ads. You also have better product information in your equipment reviews. I love the DVD New Release section. It tells me how much I have to save up for DVD purchases. My favorite section is the Coming Soon To A Retailer Near You section. I have learned so much from this magazine I use information from it every day of my life. I am an A/V fanatic. (ask my wife). Anyway, I will subscribe to this mag forever. Thanks for such a great magazine
