He serves eight years in prison before he is <a href="/wiki/Parole" title="Parole">paroled</a>. He boards a flight to <a href="/wiki/Alabama" title="Alabama">Alabama</a> on the <i>Jailbird</i>, a converted prison transport plane, so he can be reunited with Tricia and their daughter Casey, whom he has never met. Accompanying Poe is his <a href="/wiki/Diabetic" class="mw-redirect" title="Diabetic">diabetic</a> cellmate and best friend Mike "Baby-O" O'Dell. </p><p>Most of the inmates boarding the flight are convicts being transferred to a <a href="/wiki/Supermax_prison" title="Supermax prison">supermax prison</a>, including mass murderer William "Billy Bedlam" Bedford, serial rapist John "Johnny 23" Baca, <a href="/wiki/Black_Guerrilla_Family" title="Black Guerrilla Family">Black Guerrilla</a> Nathan "Diamond Dog" Jones, and <a href="/wiki/Professional_criminal" class="mw-redirect" title="Professional criminal">professional criminal</a> Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom. The flight is overseen by <a href="/wiki/U.S._Marshal" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Marshal">U.S. Marshal</a> Vince Larkin. <a href="/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration" title="Drug Enforcement Administration">DEA</a> agent Willie Sims plans to go on an <a href="/wiki/Undercover_operation" class="mw-redirect" title="Undercover operation">undercover mission</a> to get information from <a href="/wiki/Narcoterrorism" title="Narcoterrorism">narcoterrorist</a> Francisco Cindino, who is being picked up en-route. </p><p>After taking off, inmate Joe "Pinball" Parker sets another prisoner on fire as a distraction, allowing Grissom and Jones to take over the plane. They plan to land at <a href="/wiki/Carson_Airport" title="Carson Airport">Carson Airport</a> as scheduled, pick up and transfer other prisoners and fly to a non-<a href="/wiki/Extradition" title="Extradition">extradition</a> country. Sims tries to retake control, but Grissom kills him and takes his gun. </p><p>The plane arrives at Carson City and the inmates exchange commences. The ground crew is unaware that hijackers are disguised as guards and the real guards are forcibly disguised as inmates, gagged to prevent them from revealing the scheme. Amongst the new passengers are Cindino, pilot Earl "Swamp Thing" Williams and <a href="/wiki/Serial_killer" title="Serial killer">serial killer</a> Garland Greene. The authorities discover the hijacking upon finding evidence in Grissom's old cell and a tape recorder planted by Poe on one of the disguised guards but cannot prevent the plane from taking off. Meanwhile, Pinball disposes of the plane's <a href="/wiki/Transponder" title="Transponder">transponder</a>, but he is crushed to death by the landing gear during takeoff. </p><p>The inmates agree to land at Lerner Airfield, a desert airstrip, and transfer onto another plane owned by Cindino and his <a href="/wiki/Drug_cartel" title="Drug cartel">cartel</a>. Poe finds Pinball's corpse trapped in the landing gear and writes a message to Larkin on the body before throwing it out. Larkin learns of the news and heads to Lerner after contacting the <a href="/wiki/National_Guard_of_the_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="National Guard of the United States">National Guard</a>. Bedford, raiding the cargo, discovers Poe's identity, forcing Poe to kill him. </p><p>The <i>Jailbird</i> is grounded at Lerner, with no sign of the transfer aircraft. Grissom orders the others to fuel up the plane and get it ready for takeoff. Poe leaves to find Baby-O a syringe to give him <a href="/wiki/Insulin" title="Insulin">insulin</a>, meeting Larkin and informing him of the situation. They discover Cindino planning to escape on a hidden <a href="/wiki/Private_jet" class="mw-redirect" title="Private jet">private jet</a>, which Larkin sabotages by lowering a crane arm onto it. Grissom executes Cindino by igniting the plane's fuel. Greene meets a little girl playing tea party near the hangar and is tempted to kill her, but he resists his homicidal urges. Johnny 23 spots a National Guard convoy approaching and gives the alarm. As the National Guard arrives, the inmates launch an assault, but Larkin uses a <a href="/wiki/Bulldozer" title="Bulldozer">bulldozer</a> as a makeshift shield. The surviving inmates return to the <i>Jailbird</i> and take flight. </p><p>Poe's identity is revealed when Bedford's body is found. Baby-O takes the blame and is shot by Grissom, when Larkin and Sims' partner, Duncan Malloy, arrive in <a href="/wiki/Attack_helicopter" title="Attack helicopter">attack helicopters</a>, damaging the <i>Jailbird</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s fuel tank. Poe takes command of the cockpit, and Larkin instructs him to have the plane land at <a href="/wiki/Harry_Reid_International_Airport" title="Harry Reid International Airport">McCarran International Airport</a>, but Swamp Thing is forced to land it on the <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas_Strip" title="Las Vegas Strip">Las Vegas Strip</a>, causing mass destruction and killing Johnny 23.

Poe reunites with his family and the surviving inmates are apprehended - except for Greene, who gambles in a casino, declaring that he feels lucky. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Con_Air&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Nicolas_Cage" title="Nicolas Cage">Nicolas Cage</a> as Cameron Poe, a paroled former <a href="/wiki/75th_Ranger_Regiment" title="75th Ranger Regiment">Army Ranger</a> who works with the authorities to retake the titular flight.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Cusack" title="John Cusack">John Cusack</a> as <a href="/wiki/U.S._Marshal" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Marshal">U.S. Marshal</a> Vince Larkin, a U.S. Marshal who discovers Poe's role in retaking the plane.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Malkovich" title="John Malkovich">John Malkovich</a> as Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, a highly-intelligent career criminal and mastermind of the escape plot.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Steve_Buscemi" title="Steve Buscemi">Steve Buscemi</a> as Garland "The Marietta Mangler" Greene, a notorious <a href="/wiki/Serial_killer" title="Serial killer">serial killer</a>.
