Flight of the Phoenix

It's high tension among the sand dunes when a cargo jet crashes in the uninhabited Gobi desert leaving the crew desperate to find a way out in this powerful remake. Dennis Quaid stars as Frank Towns, a pilot whose no-nonsense attitude can't prepare him for the aftermath of his craft being downed in a terrible sandstorm. What follows is a suspenseful series of confrontations as various crew members clash in the oppressive climate. Meanwhile, an unexpected passenger of the flight - an arrogant aircraft designer - begins to undermine Towns' authority with his plan to build a new plane out of the wreckage. (Home Box Office)
