A young teenager camping in the woods helps rescue the President of the United States when Air Force One is shot down near his campsite.
Likable, but otherwise run-of-the-mill actioner is obviously aimed at an more adolescent audience.

Big Game (2014)
A young teenager camping in the woods helps rescue the President of the United States when Air Force One is shot down near his campsite.

The Color Purple (1985)
A black Southern woman struggles to find her identity after suffering abuse from her father and others over four decades.
Grand-scale saga with an excellent ensemble and wonderful cinematography tells a meandering tale, at times at risk of drifting apart, but contains many memorable scenes.
Halliwell**: "Well-intentioned and gracious but not always dramatically cohesive generation saga from a director trying to prove he has depth."
Maltin***1/2: "...a sprawling saga...Spielberg's controversial interpretation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-wnning book will either grab you emotionally (in which case you'll overlook its flaws) or leave you cold. Masterfully filmed...with striking cinematography...moving music score...Rich performances include screen debut for Winfrey."
