Remember that game called Barrel of Monkeys?

After the President is kidnapped, and Air Force One is damaged, several passengers are sucked out through a hole in the back of the plane. Iron Man makes a complicated rescue of all the individuals. The skydiving sequences were shot above Oak Island, NC, with digital elements of Miami added back in.
