More laughs than you can imagine...

THIS movie takes the cake in several categories: cheesiness; cliche-using; BAD writing; wasted cast talent.

If you're interested in laughing hysterically at a classic bloated studio flop, probably written by some famous exec's nephew, this is the movie for you.

It's funny - the worse a movie gets, the funnier it becomes. Actually worth your time if you can stand it. :-)

You have to see this!

Oh-oh, the pilot's dead... So who's going to fly the plane home? Yes it's another variation on the old Airport theme, with a cast of TV movie stars looking either very panicky or firm-jawed in the face of disaster. I'm watching this as I type. It's so deliciously bad I can barely keep my eyes off it! The script is so bad it deserves some kind of award. Kate Jackson comes to the aid of a pregnant woman who wonders if her belt is too tight - never fear, Kate undoes the belt for her! Hurrah! Furthermore, unable to communicate with the pilots or access the cockpit Kate wonders aloud who's flying the plane. Very moving stuff. Tell your friends that they must hunt this film down. It's transcendentally boring!

pretty bad, but fun anyway

Perhaps I have a soft spot for Kate Jackson. This movie does not have as much reality and plausibility as "The Jetsons", and yet somehow, she can carry it and make this movie entertaining. Just forget about reality and enjoy the show.

So bad, it's good!

This movie is the best bad plane movie I've ever seen! I mean, they have all the cliches - Pregnant Woman, Pilots Dead (crispy!), A computer guy plugging his Laptop in to run the autopilot, the discovery of a felon onboard, etc. Just when you think the cheese can't get any better, it does!

Lots of awful acting to boot, horrible special effects, an attack by a angry dog, etc. If you watch it (ack), or rent it (ACK!), be aware of what you're getting yourself into!

Great to watch with friends who like to cut movies apart though!

The worst LOL

Finally, a project worthy of Kate Jackson's talent and star power. This is the lowest budget TV movie I have ever seen. It used every disaster plane movie trick that was cheap. It even looks like it was videotaped instead of filmed.

It has some fun moments. The plane was struck by lightning which killed the flight crew. Kate Jackson asks everyone not to panic then asks of anyone can fly the plane. Straight out of Airplane! Eric Estrada plays an action movie star. Passengers beg him to save the plane.

There is a nine year old girl, a pregnant woman about to give birth, and a rare Corvette in the cargo hold. Can they be saved? Also, a ferocious fog has escaped from the on board kennel.

Ground control thinks they might have to shoot down the plane. With this horrible cast is there any choice?
