Movie Description
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. It was produced by William Aldrich, whose dad Robert directed the Stewart original. Edward Burns (THE BROTHERS McMULLEN) co-wrote the new screenplay.
Industry Reviews
"The writers and Moore are especially good at the tense interplay between their characters....Desert locations in Namibia are spectacular in their grandeur, nicely completing the first-class package..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (12/17/2004)
"FLIGHT is foremost an action picture. Refreshingly, it's actually about action..."
Entertainment Weekly - Scott Brown (12/24/2004)
"[S]creenwriters Edward Burns and Scott Frank have stayed true to the simple but compelling story..."
Uncut - Tom Charity (03/01/2005)
