2. James Marshall - Air Force One
An ultimate example of a badass President, Harrison Ford's James Marshall gets to prove that some leaders can handle themselves, by kicking ass and taking names once his signature plane is taken hostage by a gang of terrorists, led by Gary Oldman. This is the ultimate expression of the phrase, "We do not negotiate with terrorists", for President Marshall, in what is best described as "Die Hard on a plane", begins hunting the bad guys down, amassing weaponry, and then having one Hell of an epic, perilous showdown with Oldman's antagonist. If too many modern Presidents are criticised for sending soldiers to war without having been there themselves, then Marshall has the ultimate comeback to any try-hard liberals, "I killed a guy with his own parachute, what of it?". Not that we wish Barack Obama any harm, we do on the other hand imagine he'd fare pretty well if this situation ever happened to him...
