Beschreibung 1:
Originally 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.

Beschreibung 2:
Captain Frank Towns und seine Crew machen sich mit ihrem alten C-119 Transportflugzeug auf den Weg zu einer Erdölbohrstation in die Wüste Gobi, um Teamleiterin Kelly Johnson und ihre Mitarbeiter abzuholen. Auf dem Rückweg nach Peking gerät die Maschine plötzlich in einen Sandsturm, der den Piloten zu einer Bruchlandung zwingt - hunderte von Kilometern abseits des eigentlichen Kurses. Gemeinsam gelingt es den Passagieren jedoch, aus den Trümmern des Wracks ein neues Flugzeug zu bauen - der Phoenix entsteigt der Asche. Doch wird er auch fliegen und somit allen die Flucht aus der heißen Hölle ermöglichen...?
