Having bitten your nails to the quick during such in-flight thrillers as The Night My Number Came Up and No Highway, played count the celebrities in the Airport blockbusters and wept with laughter at the Airplane! spoofs, it's pretty hard to get excited about a routine plane-in-crisis movie such as this one. Every scenario has been exhausted and every cockpit cliché done to death. Scott Bakula has the misfortune to be at the controls of this particular lame duck, but he's lucky to have Robert Loggia not only to rescue his plane, but also to salvage some credibility for the film.

Lost somewhere over the Pacific in a single-engine Cessna with low fuel, a pilot (Scott Bakula) awaits rescue.
