Con Air (1997) Original Production Clapperboard #conairmovie #conair1997 #nicolascage #clapperboard

Con Air is a 1997 action blockbuster directed by Simon West.

Starring Nicolas Cage, John Cusack and John Malkovich in the lead roles.

Former US Army Ranger, Cameron Poe, has just been paroled for manslaughter, but must stop a group of violent and deadly criminals from escaping the country after they seize control of the prison transport plane he is on.

This is a production clapperboard used in the making of the film.

In order to pass himself off as a southern man, Nicholas Cage traveled to Alabama and hung out to get an ear for the lingo and the accent so that he could provide a better performance. It's one example of an actor going the distance to research his role.

The Las Vegas scenes were filmed at the legendary Sands Hotel immediately prior to its demolition in late 1996. When the production team heard about the city's intentions to raze the historic landmark, they immediately scheduled a multiple camera setup to take advantage of the rare event, which is what you actually see in the movie.
