Stanley Clarke composed the score for Passenger 57. Okay, let me break down that name for you. Clarke is the bassist in an on again, off again jazz fusion band called Return To Forever. Chick Corea, the founding member of that band, played with Miles Davis’ band in the 60s. In 1979 Clarke played in a short-lived band called The New Barbarians, whos...

Several of Rane's people are aboard the plane, disguised as cabin crew and passengers. When Marti performs a head count after boarding is complete, Cutter happens to be passenger number 57. Mid-flight, Rane is freed when Sabrina Ritchie (Elizabeth Hurley), disguised as a flight attendant, shoots both FBI officers dead.
When Rane hijacks a commercial airliner with a security specialist on board named John Cutter (Snipes), Cutter must fight back to stop his "Rane of terror" amongst the passengers. Also in the cast are Tom Sizemore, Bruce Greenwood, Robert Hooks, and Elizabeth Hurley.
