A ring of CG volcanoes form in the Pacific. Our commercial flight airplane goes through the smoke and somehow the pilot and co-pilot both die from something or other. Rick Pierce (Dean Cain) is also a pilot who takes over the steering which is locked in autopilot and looping through the volcano ring. There is a Marshall on board and a guy who looks like he is going to yell Allahu akbar at any time.The airline panic is interrupted by military on the ground panic, apparently the only other people watching a new volcano ring forming. The film becomes an Asylum hall-of-famer during the airplane repair and rescue scenes. The guy with the plastic breathing mask and lanyard by a string of seat belts outside of the plane had me rolling on the floor. The luggage toss was funny, but not as funny as when they were getting ready to toss a kid off the airplane to another rescue plane ...on three.Another fine stupid cheesy production from Asylum.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Talk about a film that doesn't talk itself too seriously. You'll literally cry tears of catharsis as all your stress and whatever has been getting you down is forgotten and your sins are forgiven.So many good parts... when they have to fix the engine, the first rescue attempt, the entire situation on the ground.Believe it or not you can actually watch this film more than once. I've watched it a few times and each time I notice clearly intentional gaffes for the viewers entertainment. Enjoy!

Where do I even begin? This disaster film was released direct-to-video by notoriously cheesy independent film company The Asylum on March 28, 2014. The 90-minute long film follows a commercial airliner as it flies into a ring of erupting volcanoes, becoming stuck on autopilot in the process, forcing a passenger, portrayed by Dean Cain, to step in, and fly the plane without landing it. Besides Cain, one other washed-up actor Robin Givens, known for her 90's sitcom Head of the Class co-tars as a volcanologist trying to help from the ground while simultaneously helping a military base with an evacuation. Despite Cain, and Givens receiving top billing, they barely receive enough screen time to really be considered leads. The actual lead roles are portrayed by Matt Mercer as a nerdy passenger, and Givens' colleague who attempts to reach contact with the ground, and Tamara Goodwin as the plane's stewardess who, despite being whiny, and annoying, knows her way with the men in the film. Seriously, she hugs at least 3 people throughout the course of the film. Co-starring are Morgan West as a military specialist whom helps Givens in the rescue of the plane, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs as an air marshal, and David Vega, who portrays one of the worst villains in film history. He portrays a psychopathic man with a fear of flying who threatens the passengers of the plane with tiny little broken bar bottles, which everybody is scared of for some reason. Before I continue, I need to address the film's implausible, and ridiculous premise. Alright, so instead of flying out of the ring of only six volcanoes, Cain chooses to just keep flying in the ring for what could possibly 6 hours, not to mention the improbability that they didn't die from heat exhaustion. Not only that, but the military planes manage to fly in, and out of the field within 5 minutes. Speaking of ridiculous plots, Mike Jerome Putnam portrays a Colonel on the ground who, for some reason, refuses to help the plane. The military's job is to serve, and protect the people of Earth. And yet, he seems to be more interested in his own life than the lives of 40-something people in a plane. Also, one in scene in the middle of the film where volcanic rocks fly down like meteors on the military base adds absolutely nothing, and should've been cut from the film entirely, not to mention all of the unnecessary slow-motion exhibited in the scene. Speaking of ridiculous scenes, the ending is just as bad, and seems more like a reenactment scene in the documentary television series Air Crash Investigation than a serious action sequence. With awful effects, dumb characters, and an implausible storyline, this film is overall worse than most of The Asylum's films, and that's saying something for this company. The film can only be enjoyed ironically, and is best experienced by making MST3K-type jokes about it. Airplane vs. Volcano is a cinematic abomination, and is perhaps one of The Asylum's worst films ever. I really have nothing good to say about the film, so I'm giving it a one out of ten. I thought is was complete garbage.

Oh my good lord. Even by the amazingly awful standards of the SyFy channel this is terrible. I hope this isn't the first things Aliens ever come across about the human species. Who green lights this kind of hilarious rot? Get drunk and watch it. So you're going to go outside the plane to dislodge a chunk of super hot lava from a giant engine using a hammer that was in your carry on luggage while wearing an oxygen mask that isn't connected to any oxygen? You think this is a good idea? How big is this volcano? You've been flying at 500mph for over an hour now and you're still in the middle of it?! By the end of the movie it just starts steeling lines from Star Wars (Red 5) and Independence Day (let's plow the road). Just terrible if sober.
