Flight of the Phoenix Movie Synopsis

A group of air crash survivors -- cast-offs from society who will never be missed - are stranded in the Mongolian desert with no hope of rescue. As they attempt to build a new plane from the wreckage of the old one, in hopes of flying back to civilization, they experience a rebirth of their own.

you should stop make movies where they is plane crashes this sound like lost

Finally, something American that isn`t just shoot em down and blow em up. And to boot, not loaded with really bad language. In fact there was no bad language. Excellent adventure for kids of which I have four. I will be purchasing it for them. There is so much garbage out there that apparently passes for quality entertainment that I can`t believe that this movie has gotten the bad ratinsgs that it has. Really good film (even though I have not seen the original).

This is a fun movie provided you don`t think about it much. Don`t analyze the plot, or anything to do with the science. Why bother. To do so ruins a fun movie. It`s meant to be entertaining, and it entertains. The end.
