Flight of the Phoenix
ActionAdventureDramaRomanceThriller113 min
Dennis Quaid is Capt. Frank Towns, the pilot trying to hold together a stranded crew after a cargo plane is forced down by a sandstorm over the Gobi Desert. What begins as a flight out from a shut-down oil rig turns into a fight over water, leadership, and whether the survivors can turn the wreckage into their only way home. Among the passengers is a drifter, with Giovanni Ribisi at the center of the plan to rebuild the aircraft, while Tyrese Gibson and Miranda Otto are part of the group caught between heat, exhaustion, and the threat of smugglers moving through the desert.
