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. Meanwhile, the mastermind behind the mid-air jailbreak is planning a daring computer theft on Independence Day.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Okay, if you're expecting Oscar-bait, then please turn away, really.Drop Zone is a lot of fun, it is what it is. Gary Busey was so diabolical, sort of the anti-Point Break and his chillingly cool demeanor at the end when he eliminated the female security guard was disturbing, but within Gary's character and motivation. It was great seeing Corin Nemec (Parker Lewis rocks!) in the case, supporting Wesley Snipes, who rocks big time. Good to also see Malcolm Jamal-Warner, who looked a bit different since his Cosby Show days (no brightly colored sweater from the 80s).The parachuting scenes were exciting and kudos to the cinematography team. The cinematography team should have been nominated for an Oscar.
sadly the director had no idea how to finish the climax because the whole story could have looked fantastic if the climax was superb.the cast was nice Wesley snipes & Yancy butler doing comedy & most action was done by Yancy butler specially the air action in which she skydives & grabs snipes.& later on the sea shore snipes punches her was hilarious.i loved Yancy in hard target & this is the second film of her i saw.now the story is about few convicts escaping from a plane & snipes as a cop goes after them with the help of Jessie a sky diving instructor.this was a good concept & i felt many things were missing the scenes were not filmed correctly.leaving holes in the plot such as Jessie wanted to shoot the guy in the plane but she did not,if Jessie would have shot him because she was alone going after the bad guys that would have been epic as this whole build up to the climax never make any senseits just a one time watch film don't expect anything from it.there are some nice stunts worth looking rest is boring.my rating is 5/10 .i can only give 5 points so far watch drop zone 1994 for Yancy butler she owned this film.
OK remember 9/11/2001?? well when Gary Busey made that comment in the movie drop zone about that guy with the scar! about 911 couldn't be happening or some others like that right??? well he made it yet this movies was made in 1994 h'm. people watch this movie carefully i had noticed movies many many years ago about scripts and comments they make, and they ever do so happen in the near future warning warning warning i believe the FBI . and government and people are signing in new levels of hints while living in china and as an ex-pat we teach Chinese students English while teaching we offer keywords this my friends is what you need to do. bare in mind while listening carefully to each script in the movies and watch them carefully time and time again and slow them down if needed to look at the back ground of such other movies esp. when it comes to war.politics,religion,history
Gary Busey once again proves that nobody is as sneaky as Busey. We have ourselves another prime example of this in Drop Zone. Busey's character Ty Moncrief had it all. He was an evil genius, the greatest skydiver known to man, beautiful and of course, sneaky. Gary Busey is so sneaky that he is able to appear from thin air, grab Yancy Butler and growl in her face like a wild animal with nobody ever noticing him. To a man like you or I, this seems almost supernatural. To a cougar man, that's just everyday living. It is clear that Busey is well versed in hunting prey with his animal instincts. Another poster believes that Busey is half man half cougar. I've long thought this myself. Recently, however, I'm starting to believe that Busey is more cougar than man. How else to explain his mane? It's so unkempt and wild. No man, no matter how down and out or crazy has hair that wild. And Busey's grunts and growls are as fierce as any animal you would find in the wild. Certainly no man has ever growled quite like Busey. As time goes on it is becoming more and more clear that Gary Busey is a super species created by science, or from his determination and will power to become part cougar. The only thing that can stop him is if his thirst for the ultimate hunt takes over and the cougar dwelling inside him takes over the man inside him. If this were to happen, may god help us all. For, not only would we lose won of the greats of all time, he would probably eat all of our babies. Truly terrifying and impressive to think about. As for Snipes, he gives a nice performance of a man avenging Theo Huxtable. He goes undercover in the skydiving world to catch Busey. (I know, it's comical to think that somebody could hunt Busey. But movies are fantasy.) In a memorable montage scene Snipes learns all there is to know about skydiving in about five minutes. From there it's a fight between Snipes, with his intense training now the 2nd best skydiver, and Busey the world's greatest skydiver. Who will survive? How many people will Busey eat? How many pairs of drawstring pants will Snipes wear? How many crotches will Snipes punch? I won't give anymore away.
