Featured review
Prologue: a driver has a big surprise with his passenger (8)
Segment 1 ("Time Out"): a bigot man hates Jews, Black and Asian people. One day he will live in the World War II, hunted down by KKK and attacked in Vietnam War and feel the effects of his hatred. Good episode with a surprising conclusion (7).
Segment 2 ("Kick the Can"): In a nursing home, the elder inhabitants learn that their minds can keep them young. Reasonable episode only with a great homage to "The Twilight Zone" (Episode 3.21) "Kick the Can". (6).
Segment 3 ("It´s a Good Life"): a traveler hits a boy in a bicycle with her car and takes the boy home. Soon she learns that the powerful boy brought her home indeed. Good episode with a silly and disappointing conclusion (7).
Segment 4 ("Nightmare at 20,000 feet"): a writer is scary to fly and soon he sees a monstrous creature destroying the airplane engines during a stormy night. Certainly the best episode (8).
Divided in prologue and four segments, "Twilight Zone: The Movie" is a tragic and cult movie. Tragic since Vic Morrow, the unforgettable Sgt. Saunders of "Combat!" series, died in a weird accident when the helicopter crashed on him and two children while making a scene. Directed by four great directors - Joe Dante (segment "It's a Good Life"); John Landis (prologue/segment "Time Out"); George Miller (segment "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"); and Steven Spielberg (segment "Kick the Can") - and with great names in the cast - Vic Morrow, Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks, Kathleen Quinlan, John Lithgow among many others, "Twilight Zone: The Movie" is highly recommended for fans of sci-fi and horror. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "No Limite da Realidade" ("In the Limit of Reality")
Note: On 31 July 2023, I saw this film again.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene being shot at the time of Vic Morrow's fatal accident was added to the script late in the filming in an attempt to "soften" his bigoted character Bill Connor, and give him some redemption: while fleeing from an American helicopter attack on a deserted Vietnamese village, he sees two orphaned children. Bill decides to save them no matter what the cost, so he carries them under his arms and wades through the river to safety. He then finds himself back in Nazi-occupied France again, the two children having time-jumped with him. The two Nazi officers chasing Bill take the children away for execution, and take Bill to a train which ends the segment. Due to the helicopter accident that claimed the life of Morrow and child actors Renee Chen and My-ca Dinh Le, all scenes featuring the children were completely cut, and they do not appear in the film. Bill's original scripted ending was kept in, leaving Bill's character change largely unaddressed and his fate unknown.
- GoofsAn exterior shot of the airplane in Segment #4 shows the landing gear to be in the down position. The pilot later comments that the plane would be landing in twenty minutes, far too long for gear to be down prior to touchdown.
