MOVIE CHOICE

ANGELS ONE FIVE (1953) U ● 9PM, TALKING

PICTURES TV ★★★★

John Gregson plays the slightly misguided but well-meaning hero – T.B. ‘Septic’ Baird – in this Battle of Britain drama. Septic is a skilled pilot who inadvertently causes mayhem at the same time as averting disaster. He is joined by Jack Hawkins and Michael Denison.

AIR FORCE ONE

(1997) 15 10PM, CH5 ★★★

Harrison Ford plays the US President as an action hero, as is popular in Hollywood (see also Independence Day, White House Down). Air Force One, the official airborne command centre, is hijacked by terrorists (led by Gary Oldman), and the President is the one who must save the day.

JACK REACHER

(2012) 15 10.20PM, ITV4 ★★★

Tom Cruise stars in the first of (so far) two film adaptations of the books by Lee Child. He plays the maverick former military policeman and, as usual, supplies a great many of his own stunts in this action-packed thriller. Director and sometime actor Werner Herzog is on bad-guy duties.
