Four years before the big budget movie Air Force One hit theaters, the low budget B-movie Interceptor did “Die Hard on an airplane”. I guess it flies, but boy, it’s often a wobbly ride.

I remember a friend of mine renting this and being very annoyed because there was so little air battle content…
This is quite possibly a linear interpolation on Prochnow’s career trajectory from Das Boot (1981) to Wing Commander (1999).
(Do I need to mention that a C-5 Galaxy has a cargo compartment 19 feet wide, while the wingspan of an F-117 is over 43 feet? Didn’t think so.)

Also, the F-117 was in no imaginable sense an interceptor, since it was incapable of carrying any form of air-to-air weaponry.

Oh, there was a plan for that! Just about when this film was coming out, Lockheed proposed the F-117N, aka “the Navy wants one too” — it was going to be carrier-capable, of course, and have a ground-search radar and external hardpoints that could carry AMRAAMs.
Really.
