The action classic Face/Off, starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, is now streaming on Paramount+.
For all the memorable features that beloved actor Nicolas Cage has starred in, few are considered quite as enjoyably bonkers as the action classic Face/Off . Directed by the legendary John Woo , the film features Cage as the notorious terrorist Castor Troy, who goes face-to-face with an FBI agent, played by John Travolta , who's obsessed with finally bringing him down. Once they collide, however, they're thrown into a stylized thriller that turns both their lives on their heads.
Starting today, Paramount+ will be the new streaming home for the acclaimed film, giving subscribers a chance to start the new year with a bang. Face/Off swaps between the perspectives of Troy and Sean Archer, who has been bound to bring the terrorist-for-hire to justice ever since he killed Archer's son Michael. Six years later, he finally gets his chance when the authorities track down Troy's plane, which crashes and leaves the criminal in a coma. The FBI has a bigger problem, however, after Troy revealed a bomb was located somewhere in Los Angeles before he went unconscious. To get the information needed from Troy's brother, Archer undergoes surgery to take on the terrorist's face and voice, a plan that horrifically backfires when Troy awakens and forces the doctor to implant him with Archer's appearance. With his colleagues believing he's the real criminal and Troy determined to ruin him, Archer races to get his life back while wearing the face of the man he hates most. Woo had spent years building himself up as a defining action director with titles like The Killer, Hard-Boiled, and A Better Tomorrow before he was finally given full control of his first Hollywood production with Face/Off. The result is what's widely hailed as one of the best films of his career, carried by chaotic performances by both Travolta and Cage in dual roles swapping between Troy and Archer and a premise so silly it's brilliant, all supplemented by Woo's explosive styl
