Executive Decision

Executive Decision is a 1996 American disaster action film directed by Stuart Baird in his directorial debut. The film stars Kurt Russell, Steven Seagal, Halle Berry, Oliver Platt and John Leguizamo. The film was released in the United States on March 15, 1996.

Plot

Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis leads an unsuccessful raid on a Chechen mafia safe house in Italy by a U.S. Army Special Forces team to recover a stolen Soviet nerve agent, DZ-5. One of his men is killed during the raid. Dr. David Grant, a United States Naval Academy graduate and now a consultant for the U.S. Army's intelligence community, learns that terrorist El Sayed Jaffa has been arrested. Shortly after, Oceanic Airlines Flight 343 leaves Athens, Greece, bound for Washington, D.C, with U.S. Senator Mavros. Jaffa's lieutenant, Nagi Hassan, and his men hijack it.

Grant joins a team led by Travis to intercept the plane. After listening to Hassan's demands, Grant disbelieves Hassan wants Jaffa released and instead thinks Hassan engineered Jaffa's capture and plans to use the plane to detonate a bomb loaded with nerve gas over U.S. airspace. The Pentagon authorizes a mid-air transfer of a special operations team onto the hijacked airliner using experimental stealth aircraft. Grant and ARPA engineer Dennis Cahill observe.

Business

A business, also known as an enterprise, agency or a firm, is an entity involved in the provision of goods and/or services to consumers. Businesses are prevalent in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services to customers in exchange for other goods, services, or money. Businesses may also be social not-for-profit enterprises or state-owned public enterprises targeted for specific social and economic objectives. A business owned by multiple individuals may be formed as an incorporated company or jointly organised as a partnership. Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities.

Business can refer to a particular organization or to an entire market sector, e.g. "the music business". Compound forms such as agribusiness represent subsets of the word's broader meaning, which encompasses all activity by suppliers of goods and services. The goal is for sales to be more than expenditures resulting in a profit.
