This 124 minute R-rated DVD film features John Cusack, Bil ly Bob Thornton, Cate Blanchett, and Angelina Jolie in an u nconventional comedy about two air traffic controllers. The film is directed by Mike Newell. Mike Newell's PUSHING TIN takes a offbeat look at the stressful lives of air traffic controllers. Nick Falzone (John Cusack) is a confident, accomplished air traffic controller whose life is turned upside down when drifter Russell Bell (Billy Bob Thornton) joins his tight-knit work team and threatens to drive him insane. Stakes are high and pressure is constant in the world of air traffic control, making the line between excellence and failure dangerously thin. While jokes provide the team of controllers with an important release from their stressful occupation, a narrow division exists between teasing and animosity.
Mike Newell's careful research of the air traffic control profession, including its frequent emotional toll, lends a high level of realism to PUSHING TIN. Newell combines a depiction of the demandingly precise work done in air traffic control towers with an emotional portrait of the people charged with the safety of thousands of airline passengers and crew every day. The film also features the charming talents of Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie.
Pushing Tin Reviews: "...Punchy and involving....PUSHING TIN makes for a lively flight..."
-- Todd McCarthy, Variety "...From the terrific ensemble cast to the meticulous cinematography and subtle score, PUSHING TIN is one of the most consistently enjoyable US films of the year..."
-- Andrew O'Hehir, Sight and Sound "...It's a treat to watch Cusack riff..."
-- Caren Weiner Campbell, Entertainment Weekly "...A four character story with four characters worth watching. Mr. Newell's ensemble timing and breezily sardonic style make it work..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times …Cusack's the center of attention in this film, and he encapsulates the role adeptly…
-- Annlee Ellingson, Box Office "...The movie is made to a great extent by its four key performances....[With] another super turn from Angelina Jolie..."

Nicolas Cage stars as Jack Campbell, a career-driven workaholic who has everything: an exciting job, a Ferarri, a closetful of Zegna suits, and the attention of any woman he wants. His life changes when, after working a full day on Christmas Eve, he intervenes in a convenience store holdup. The apparent criminal, Cash (Cheadle), speaks to Jack in epigrams about his satisfaction with life. When Jack wakes up the next day, he's suddenly living in a New Jersey suburb, where he's married to his college sweetheart (Leoni) and is the father of two children. At first he is aghast, but Jack soon warms to his new life even though he knows that it cannot last. Unabashedly sentimental, the film is also a great comedy, as Cage gives a superb performance that makes the most of his character's obvious disgust with his suburban surroundings and even allows for a few moments of hysterics reminiscent of VAMPIRE'S KISS. Filled with great performances (notably Ms. Leoni's role as Jack's wife), inspired comedy, and a premise that suggests a slightly darker version of ...

This dramatic true-life account follows Daniel Ellsberg (James Spader), the Harvard graduate and ex-Marine who disclosed information from the Pentagon Papers in 1971, exposing secrets about the U.S. involvement in Vietnam that contributed to Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency.
