Mach 2

Mach 2 (2001)

The fate of a nation rests on the courage of one man.

A Presidential candidate running against the Vice-President plans a trip to the Balkans to negotiate the release of American servicemen being held hostage. Before he leaves, he receives a disk documenting evidence that the Vice-President has been trying to revive the American economy by causing a war in the Balkans. He plans to show it to both sides in the hopes of ending the situation. However, Secret Service agents hijack the Concorde he is on and kill the pilots. It's up to an Air Force officer, nicknamed "Washout" because he can't fly a plane, to land the Concorde. Written by Leigh Roche

Production trivia

The majority of the principal photography took place in the summer of 1991. The scenes of the Concorde were used from the 1979 film The Concorde ... Airport '79. The interior of the Concorde seen in the film is vastly larger than the real aircraft, as a Boeing 747 set was used due to budgetary constraints.

All the scenes of the Washington Dulles and Paris Orly airports were filmed at small aerodromes, noting the small size of their control towers.
