Air Force One [P&S]

"The Harrison Ford/Gary Oldman thriller Air Force One soars onto a single DVD by Columbia/Tristar that contains two different versions of the same film. Side A of the disc presents the movie in a widescreen format that preserves the 2:35.1 aspect ratio of the original film. The flip side of the disc presents the movie in a pan-and-scan full-screen version that has been reformatted for television. Almost all of the movie takes place on an airplane, and the DVD soundtrack in English two-channel and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound brings the thundering of the plane so much to life that home viewers will be tempted to run outside to flag down approaching jets. The disc also contains the theatrical trailer and a commentary by director Wolfgang Petersen, who sounds as if he's having a great time revealing all of the film's technical aspects. Surprisingly, he reveals that Air Force One was originally developed for Kevin Costner. The DVD comes with a booklet that provides more film background."
