Flight of the Phoenix

I really enjoyed this movie. The actors are well chosen, all play their parts great.

Dennis Quaid plays a pilot who has to pick up an oil rig team in the middle of the Gobi Desert. But things start to go wrong and he has to crash land in the desert. They hold out hope that someone will find them, but a mechanic believes he can design a new plane from the wreckage. They begin building it, but they have to be careful to ration the remaining food and water properly. They have to also deal with sandstorms and some murderous desert raiders along the way.

The cast is: Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Miranda Otto, and Giovanni Ribisi.

A definite must have.Read full review...

Flight of the Phoenix

Great Action!
Dennis Quaid is great! Also is a good family movie, my kids loved it!

In Mongolia, the test well of an oil field is shut-down by the company headquarter in Atlanta, and a plane piloted by Captain Frank Towns (Dennis Quaid) is sent to bring the workers back home. While flying over a storm, the plane crashes in the Mongolian desert. When they realize that they will not be rescued, they decide to build a new plane from the wreckage of the old one.Read full review...

Not a blockbuster, but very entertaining

I’m a real plane enthusiast and I enjoy watching “House” (Hugh Laurie) on TV, so this movie fulfilled two needs. It may have been a real stretch from an aerodynamic standpoint, but it was still entertaining without the usual violence and sex additives. I would recommend this movie to anyone wishing to enjoy a quiet evening at home with the family. The happy ending was a real plus for the movie.Read full review...

Adventurous

The remaining survivors eventually pull together to work on building a plane. Good drama and excitement.Read full review...

Great movie delivered in prompt service time

Grandson is into mechanical creation of things. He loved this movie because it involved creating an operational plane out of what was available.
