Synopsis

Prolific TV director Armand Mastroianni trots out all the clichés in this leaden plane-in-peril thriller. But rather than the usual political terrorist planting a biochemical device onboard a Boeing 747, it's an individual with a more personal axe to grind who creates chaos on the Sydney to LA flight. Given the increased state of airport security post 9/11, many events are hard to swallow, while an overall lack of tension and emotion only highlights the plot's formulaic nature. Ernie Hudson proves a solid diversion as a bomb expert who guides pilot Jack Wagner through the dismantling process, though the otherwise wooden acting and unconvincing finale swiftly return the film to soap opera territory.
