A daring prison break from an airliner at 30,000 feet leaves U.S. Marshal Pete Nessip mourning a brother and gunning for revenge. After being ordered to turn in his badge, he seeks out Jessie Crossman, a noted skydiver, and offers to sponsor her crew for the annual Independence Day parachuting show in Washington, D.C., if she trains him.

Drop Zone is a cheesy action film which wants to emulate Point Break with even more green screen. Wesley Snipes plays US Marshal Pete Nessip (Wesley Snipes) who with his brother Terry (Malcolm Jamal Warner) are transporting a prisoner on a plane which is then hijacked. The hijackers led by Ty Moncrief (Gary Busey) capture the prisoner and parachute out of the plane from a very high altitude. Pete's bosses believed that all the hijackers died when his brother shot one of the hijackers that caused an explosion. Pete remains unconvinced that they died and does his own digging. He meets Jessie Crossman (Yancy Butler) a female parachutist and finds clues by hanging about other parachutists. The film is has a nice balance of humour and violence with appealing leads but some of the action scenes could had been better, in fact some of it looked cheap.

Adequate enough crime-thriller with some nice aerial photography mixed in with bad 90s-era green screen. Not at all a strong star vehicle for Snipes and pales to Passenger 57 released two years prior. But still entertaining especially with Gary Busey playing a villain as he tended to do in the 80s and 90s. **3.0/5**
