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.

This is one of the worst things I have seen on TV. I would have accepted it if it would have been made in the 70s or 80s. Nowhere to Land has all the stupid things you remember from the films from that time. For example:There is a bomb on a plane in Nowhere to Land witch every one know will explode in very short time. The situation is really hectic but there is always time for a the typical "time stop" that you see in American movies. Here we have everything from a nice speech from pilot to wife... a kiss and some talk between a boy and a girl before jumping out of the airplane. All this while the bomb is ticking or deadly gas is spreading in the cabin.The bomb releases a danger gas that are spreading through the cabin. But instead of running away from it the crew always looks at it first for about 10 seconds and then run.The pilots teacher and former co-pilot is on the plane and dies quite heroically in the end trying to move the bomb further away from the passenger. However the movie ends in pure happiness like we should have forgotten all about him.Nowhere to Land includes most of the old clichés that we have seen over and over again and are sick of seeing. Therefore I think it would have been better to make this a comedy and change the title to "Not another plane movie".

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.

Spoiler: At one point the plane has descended below 5000 feet and no problems. Did the plane have enough fuel to make it to, say, Denver or some other city or field with a higher elevation? That way the plane could land without triggering the device.
