Sonic Impact is a 2000 action/thriller directed by Rodney McDonald and starring James Russo, Mel Harris, Michael Harris and Ice-T, with Michael Raynor.

After killing one of the passengers and the pilot, Barrett demands a ransom and a helicopter at San Diego, where the 747 is being diverted.

When a small explosion is caused by a gun shot striking an oxygen tank, a massive hole is opened in the cockpit, and with the aircraft badly damaged, Barrett threatens to crash the 747 into a populated area unless his demands are met.

Unless the agent can do something, the military will be forced to shoot the aircraft down to minimize the toll.
