Starring the likes of Datuk Adi Putra (Mat Kilau), Aiman ​​Hakim Ridza, Nas-T, Sara Ali, Pablo Amirul, Johan As'ari, Luqman Hafidz, and many more, the film tells the story of a special forces unit whose plane is shot down in a hostile country and have to evade capture while the titular Air Force puts together a rescue mission.

The Vibes’s review said:

The professionalism of the armed forces is being clearly displayed, especially later on when the rescue mission is underway. It’s really something seeing all the different planes and units operating as one. 

The story itself is very predictable, which is not necessarily a bad thing – don’t reinvent the wheel if you don’t have to.

Air Force The Movie was made in collaboration with the Malaysian Armed Forces and the Royal Malaysian Air Force, as well as Multimedia Entertainment, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), Astro, FXHammer Films and SixFun Media. – The Vibes, August 29, 2022
