About this product

Product Information

A pilot on a routine trip to investigate some remote oil rigs in the Gobi Desert makes a crash landing in the middle of nowhere. For him, and the men along for the ride, a slow, tortured, thirsty death seems certain, unless the plucky mechanic in the crew can design a whole new plane from the wreckage. The men and one woman have to tangle with murderous desert raiders and numerous sandstorms in addition to the frequent squabbling amongst themselves.

Additional InformationOriginally a 1965 Jimmy Stewart vehicle, this FLIGHT gets a rough and ready updating for the new century, with the stalwart Dennis Quaid now inhabiting the title role. He's a pilot on a routine trip out to investigate some remote oil rigs in the Gobi Desert, but things go wrong and he makes a crash landing in the middle of nowhere. For him, and the men along for the ride, a slow, tortured, thirsty death seems certain, unless the plucky mechanic in the crew (Giovanni Ribisi) can design a whole new plane from the wreckage. As with the original, this is a manly adventure of rugged survival and mechanical ingenuity, only this time there's a woman on board, Kelly (Miranda Otto) who generates some romantic sparks. Some of the other survivors are played by: Tyrese Gibson, Sticky Fingaz, Bob Brown and Kirk Jones. The men and one woman have to tangle with murderous desert raiders and numerous sandstorms in addition to the frequent squabbling amongst themselves. Director John Moore gets a lot of mileage out of the desert backdrop and Ribisi is solid as the mechanic with a troubled past. Edward Burns (THE BROTHERS McMULLEN) co-wrote the new screenplay.

  • Enthralling from start to finish

    Great Film with a selection of Brilliant actors and actresses in Fantastic location that gives several ways to die in such a hot and baron land - and not just because of lack of water. The tension as the cast just bounce off each other, just trying to blame the other person as setback after setback drives them to bracking point. Enthralling from start to finish. Great way to spend an evening.

  • The Phoenix flies again...

    This is probably the best remake of a classic that's been done to date! Excellent set-pieces, stunning location photography, well acted, and they didn't change too much of the story! The pumping modern soundtrack with songs will date the film in years to come! No remake will ever replace the originals... But they CAN exist, side-by-side, so everybody wins!!!
