1997’s Con Air is a classic Jerry Bruckheimer-produced action movie that has only become more and more beloved over the years. The movie, which you can stream with a YouTube TV subscription, features an insane plot, over-the-top action, and, perhaps most importantly, an absolutely stellar cast. Nicolas Cage leads a group of award-winning actors, including John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames, Dave Chappelle, Danny Trejo, Mykelti Williamson, and others.
The most inspired casting decision for the time has to be John Malkovich as Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, as this was one of the projects that helped turn him into a household name. Thus, as it turns out, snagging Malkovich wasn’t as difficult as you might imagine.
