Wolfgang Petersen, the German director whose Oscar-nominated submarine film “Das Boot” propelled him to directing Hollywood projects such as “Troy,' 'The Perfect Storm' and 'Air Force One,' has died. He was 81.
Petersen's representative Michelle Bega told USA TODAY the director died Friday at his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Ford portrayed President James Marshall, whose plane is hijacked by terrorists in Peterson's 1997 thriller "Air Force One," one of the most popular action films of the 1990s. In 2000, Petersen helmed the box office hit"The Perfect Storm," the tale of doomed Gloucester fishermen starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg.
