| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Drop Zone |
|---|
Wesley Snipes is a law enforcement agent investigating a possible hijacking and murder on an airplane. These criminals (Busey, Jeter, others) are believed to have planned the hijacking. They are also believed to be skydivers, so Snipes heads to a place called "the dropzone" in South Florida. There he talks to Jessie (Yancy Butler) who is in charge of the skydiving company that these "criminals" might be associated with. She teaches him some skydiving tricks (that way he can go undercover) and find these criminals.
