## Cast

* Harrison Ford as President James Marshall, a popular president and a family man, who loves his wife, Grace, and daughter, Alice. Marshall is also a decorated helicopter-rescue pilot, Vietnam veteran and Medal of Honor recipient who speaks reasonably fluent Russian. Feigning escape during Air Force One's hijacking, he attempts to retake the aircraft, to rescue everybody.
* Gary Oldman as Egor Korshunov, a ruthless Radek loyalist, who leads the hijacking of *Air Force One*. Korshunov believes that the collapse of the Soviet Union has ruined his country. The character is erroneously named Ivan Korshunov by the end credits.
* Glenn Close as Vice President Kathryn Bennett: The Vice President of the United States, who commands the situation in the White House Situation Room. Through all the tension, Bennett remains calm, refusing to make risky or poor decisions.
* Wendy Crewson as the First Lady Grace Marshall
* Liesel Matthews as the First Daughter Alice Marshall
* Paul Guilfoyle as White House Chief of Staff Lloyd Shepherd
* William H. Macy as Major Norman Caldwell, USAF, military aide to the President
* Dean Stockwell as Defense Secretary Walter Dean

Radek's regime is responsible for the killing of 200,000 people. Captured by a joint Russian–American military ops team, Radek is imprisoned in Russia, awaiting trial for his crimes against humanity. The terrorists who take over Air Force One demand his release, threatening to kill a hostage every half hour. The character is erroneously named Alexander Radek by the end credits.
