90s Action Movie Featuring John Travolta at His Most Maniacal Available on Prime Video

If you’re a fan of ’90s action movies, you won’t want to miss out on the iconic John Travolta film “Broken Arrow,” now available to stream on Prime Video. Directed by legendary filmmaker John Woo, this 1996 movie features Travolta at his most maniacal as Major Vic Deakins, the film’s hammy and wise-cracking villain.

In “Broken Arrow,” Air Force pilots Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater) and Major Vic “Deak” Deakins (Travolta) embark on a top-secret mission that takes a dangerous turn when Deakins betrays Hale, steals two nuclear weapons, and plans to sell them to terrorists. This sets off a thrilling race against time as Hale teams up with park ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis) to stop Deakins and prevent a catastrophe.

Despite mixed critical reviews, “Broken Arrow” was a commercial success, grossing $70.8 million domestically and $150 million worldwide. While some critics described the film as recycled pulp or a brain-deadening action thriller, others found it to be fun and hip. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 53% rating, with the consensus calling it a disposable entry in John Woo’s English-language films.

If you’re in the mood for some over-the-top ’90s action or want to see Travolta’s captivating performance, “Broken Arrow” is a must-watch on Prime Video.
