Movie Of The Week - Broken Arrow | Comedy

This week on Movie of the Week, we’re diving into Broken Arrow, a gloriously over-the-top 1996 action movie that absolutely lives and dies on one thing: John Travolta having the time of his life as the villain. Christian Slater brings the old-school ’90s charm, John Woo throws in trains, helicopters, nuclear weapons and enough explosions to flatten a small country, while Hans Zimmer gives the whole thing a fantastic Western-style edge.
We also get into the behind-the-scenes trivia, the huge amount of stunt work, the intense physical preparation and why Travolta’s funny, cool and completely unhinged performance lifts the entire film. It’s not one of the greatest movies ever made, and some of it is pure action-movie nonsense, but as big, ridiculous popcorn comedy and entertainment goes, it’s very hard to switch off.
