I saw this on DVD. My neighbors bought it as part of a 2 for 1 on the single disk. The sound is ProLogic and the picture is fine, but nothing special.The premise is, a plane load of tourists are leaving Australia to fly home to Los Angeles. One passenger is a woman and her new husband on their honeymoon. But she is being watched by her ex husband, an engineer, who has not gotten over the heartbreak of the split. So he is planning revenge.Jack Wagner is the Captain of the flight, John Prescott. His co-pilot is cute Christine Elise as Kim McGee. As they are going along in this routine flight, they are jolted by a phone call telling of an explosive device aboard the plane. Ernie Hudson is Danny Gorlin, Los Angeles bomb expert, who has to abort his planned attendance at the Lakers game to try and talk Prescott through de-fusing the device.For a TV movie, it is fairly well made, and the acting is good.

Nowhere to Land is a fair film! It stars Ernie Hudson, Jack Wagner, Christine Elise, James Sikking, Mark Lee, Rachael Blake, Helen Thomson, Damian Pike, and Laurie Foel. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Hudson is really great in this film! The action is good. The music is good. The film is quite exciting and the movie keeps you going until the finale. This is a very good and thrilling film. Just ignore the bad comments and give this film a try! If you Ernie Hudson, Jack Wagner, Christine Elise, James Sikking, and the rest of the cast I've mentioned above, thrillers, air plane disaster films, and exciting non-stop action films then I recommend this film!

A pretty standard airline suspense story about a bomb planted on a 747 on a flight from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles. There's some decent suspense, but the whole thing is pretty cliché (time clock clicking down to the last few seconds, the usual brief shots of faces taut with the strain, etc.), and the performances are average at best. What really bugged me in this movie was why the writers felt the need to have an FBI agent conveniently present in Sydney when the threat was phoned in, and not only present but becoming front and centre in the search for the bomber. Maybe I'm being too sensitive here, but I rather suspect that the Australian police wouldn't need the FBI's help in what seemed to be a pretty routine piece of policework. That just made the whole thing too American-centred (with no discernible reason or need for it) for my liking.Overall, though, it's an average to decent movie. 5/10.

No properly designed bomb is complete without a big red countdown timer. Also, the device must be placed such that the timer is plainly visible at all times to the public. The construction of the bomb must include wires that have universal significance of their color pattern and connection methods.But not only did the bomb maker read a step-by-step How-To guide, so did the story writers. Every suggestion beyond defusing the bomb was met with a singular one-line excuse to the contrary, without a second thought. The inevitable Hollywood last-second wire cut. Many simplistic and safer possibilities weren't considered... toss it out an opened door? Break a few windows to blow the gas outside? Simply pop out the test tubes before detonation? Tape (and seal) the lid shut? One or all of these ideas in combination?Oh well, back to my Hollywood How-To guides.
