#55 - The Mark
Manage episode 375375316 series 3506078
Die Hard on a plane, but with the rapture! If there's one thing we can't get enough of, it's movies about the rapture that are set mostly on an airplane where the central premise of the film is treated as a surprise plot twist near the end. Sadly, this movie does not feature Nicolas Cage, but it does have Eric Roberts, who is almost as good! Basically, some guy named Chad gets the mark of the beast injected into him. It's less of a "mark" than it is a "poorly explained plot device." All Chad needs to do is take an airplane ride, but it turns out to be more complicated than he realizes. Will he ever make it to Berlin? Will he be able to save the plane? Will the plane be able to land? Will he be able to disarm the bomb? Will he be able to stop the bad guys from setting off the other bomb? Will he be able to escape the fury of Eric Roberts? Will he be able to get into the plane's cockpit? Will he put his faith in Jesus? Will his brother be able to hail a cab without dying the most embarrassing death possible? The movie will answer some of these questions.
