Clearly cloned from the Airport disaster movie series, this in-flight entertainment is one of TV moviedom's better efforts, helped by the fact that it's based on a true incident that occurred in 1983. A cast of the usual TV suspects - William Devane, Shelley Hack, Mariette Hartley - is put through its panic-station paces as Flight 174 mysteriously runs out of fuel in midair and the tense search begins for a landing site. Those with a fear of flying should be warned off, but everybody else will find enough low-rent suspense and ham acting on offer to make it an enjoyable time-waster.

True story of a brand-new Canadian airliner running out of fuel in-flight and forced to glide to the nearest airfield.
