Pearl, 9.30pm

Pete Nessip (Wesley Snipes, above) and his brother Terry (Malcolm Jamal Warner) are United States marshals escorting convicted computer hacker Earl Leedy (Michael Jeter) to a federal prison via a commercial 747.

Mid-flight, an apparent terrorist attack results in an on-board explosion and the disappearance of the prisoner.

In the aftermath, Pete's badge is suspended while authorities investigate the incident. Nobody will believe his implausible theory that the attack was actually a prison break, with the participants escaping by parachute.

Convinced that those responsible for the brazen escape must be expert skydivers, he enters the daredevil world of exhibition skydiving to prove his theory. A predictable action thriller with some impressive mid-air stunts. Also starring Yancy Butler and Claire Stansfield. (1994)
