Con Air 2 picks up years after Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) finally reunited with his family. Now working as a security consultant for the U.S. Marshals, Poe is forced back into action when a high-risk prisoner transport flight—codenamed “Con Air 2”—is hijacked mid-air by a group of mercenaries led by a ruthless mastermind (played by a new antagonist, possibly John Malkovich returning as Cyrus Grissom’s long-lost brother).

When Poe realizes that his own daughter, now an FBI agent, is onboard the flight, the mission becomes personal. As chaos erupts at 30,000 feet, Poe fights through waves of deadly criminals, using his military training and brute strength to outsmart the hijackers.

In a shocking twist, one of the prisoners turns out to be an old ally from the original film, helping Poe take back control of the plane. The film ends with a dramatic emergency landing and a final face-off, setting up an intense showdown that redefines the meaning of airborne justice.
