This one is about two air traffic controllers, Joanthan Cusak and Billy Bob Thornton, who are engaged in a macho war over just about everything. Thornton's character is married to slutty Anglina Jolie, who secuces Cusak from his happy marriage into her bed. The entire mood of the film is ruined at the end by a sappy happy ending, obviously demanded by the studio executives so the audience would leave in less of a down mood. The film did hold my interest until then, however.
Follow Ups:
Must say that I found this to be too formulaic. Rebel controller v. conscientous controller, they meet at the O.K. Corral (station), then learn respect for each other. I know someone who is an air traffic controller in Texas, and he has told me that there is largely nothing for them to do, the computers now do most of the work. Their biggest function is to provide a human voice for the pilot, which reassures the pilot. Guess that would not have made a movie though.
