I really enjoyed watching this. It gripped me throughout and was quite believable. Good plot, interesting characters, and great pace.
My only quibble would be that there was a bit of over-the-top in a couple of scenes. Also, there was much material that could have been expanded on. While the close of the movie does provoke much thought, there was much that could have been added (though it would have required another hour or two) in political matters, but that's simply my preference.
All in all, a great movie. I only wish my VCR had been running.

I loved it. It was really well made, and it was great suspense throughout. The actors did a great job, and I highly recommend it.
I've seen a lot of TV movies in my time as a student, the majority the normal waste of time that US television throws out. This one, however, was well crafted and plotted and had a very nice twist at the end. Having only seen Richard Dean Anderson in MacGyver and Stargate I was surprised with his excellent performance rather than the rather gamut of expressions from A-B that he normally gives. It was a pleasant surprise to see Daphne Zuniga after quite a long time dating back to The Fly II. Also nice to see Robert Guillaumme in a leading role again. I can't say that I ever take Jane Leeves seriously after her Benny Hill days but she just about managed to cope well in her role. All in all a highly recommended film.
I have never seen a better film in my entire life. Great suspense, interesting throughout and its definitely recommended by me. Anyone considering watching/renting/buying must definitely do so as it is too good to miss out. The film was of spectacular standard. Pity about the subtitles on some scenes as partially sighted people may have difficulty reading these but other wise an all together great film. I got a bit confused about the ending but that may be because i was making a drink at the same time so it may be understandable!!!!!

"Pandora's Clock" is a gripping suspense/thriller that's a cross between a virus movie and a disaster film. This movie, which aired in two parts on NBC in its debut showing in 1996, is about an airplane flight that becomes infected with a virus when one of the passengers just happens to be carrying this disease. The U.S. Government debates on whether the plane should be destroyed or not, while the pilot (Richard Dean Anderson) and a virus expert (Daphne Zuniga) try to figure something out to avoid disaster. I'm not really a big fan of TV movies and miniseries, but I liked "Pandora's Clock". It's one heck of a thrill ride. Jane Leeves (TV's "Frasier"), Robert Loggia, and Edward Herrmann (as the President) also star.

- TriviaThe Boeing 747-230B used in the movie had flown for Condor, Korean Air, and finally Nationair before being broken up after the filming of Pandora's Clock.
- GoofsThe beginning of the movie shows exterior scenes of a 747-400 which is correct because the cockpit scenes are 747-400. However, the rest of the movie shows exterior shots of a 747-100 or 747-200.
