Definitely a movie to watch but only once. Having just sat through this movie shown as an afternoon matinée on TV, I have never seen a movie as bad as this one. The very idea of pilots being charred by a lightening strike and the aeroplane continuing to fly and be steered by a passenger by sparking wires together is only the beginning of an absurd movie concept. This was supposed to have been events happening on a Boeing 747 but even these giants of the air don't have such high ceilings. I think Make-up got a little carried away with the applying eye shadow around the cock-pit window and missed out the blusher during landing. Acting was average but very little attention had been given to any semblance of reality. Can any budget be justified to make a movie such as this? It was however, a movie of some entertainment value for the goof spotters. Expect a high score here.

I watched this movie the other night on Lifetime Network only because I was expecting a classically bad made for TV movie. And I was not disappointed! Nothing in the movie makes a lick of sense and every possible disaster in air cliché is employed. Some of the scenes were just mind-numbing like the finale when the plane comes in to land. Whats with all of the emergency equipment lined up directly in the line of the landing! If you are looking for a good hoot like I was, then watch this movie. If not, then don't waste two hours of your life. One casting note. The best character was Erik Estrada playing an action movie matinée idol. What a hoot.

This film is the best aviation drama film I have ever seen! The actors are quality especially Kate Jackson! She seems to know what she is doing. The Plane a Boeing 747 takes ff from New York bound or London on Royce Air Internation on flight 115. The Plane is hit by lightning seconds after takeoff killing the crew of the cockpit. The autopilot which has gone loony takes the Planes anywhere it feels! It controls destination, speed, alltiude and when it lands. Finally in the end of film the aircraft lands in Vancouver. All passengers were safe! Kate Jackson even hit off with an escaping criminal called Brett Young! The area that lets this film down is the fact that the aircraft isn't a Boeing 747 but a McDonnell Douglas DC 10 of American Airlines noticed by the seat cover patterns!

As horrible as this film is, it forces you to watch it.It's on television as I type this, and I cannot bring myself to change the channel for fear of missing the next cockamamie predicament that happens. And what a cast! Kate Jackson, Ed Marinaro, Erik Estrada, Maureen McCormick, and Robert Guillaume. Tune in yourself and see how Sabrina, Officer Joe Coffey, Paunch, Marsha Brady, and Benson save a disaster-bound 747 from crashing!!!I regret that MST3K is off the air -- this is the kind of experiment that they would do proud.
