Just saw this movie again for the first time in maybe 35 years. First saw it as a kid on tv mid to late 70's. Good movie. Some so so acting but what the Hell its a good watch. Wish they had this on dvd. I am big on collecting dvds of movies and tv shows from my childhood. I have great memories from television from that time period.
I just saw this POS. It makes you keep watching because you want to see the finale: the huge crash, but pretty much every other aspect of this film sucks. I only watched it because I thought it was written by Elliston Trevor who wrote Flight of the Phoenix, which they made into my favorite film in 1965. I noticed he was just one of the writers on this. My guess is he came up with the concept which was a good one, and left the other terrible writers to do the script.
The acting was terrible, the scenarios were dumb, nothing to recommend it except for Robert Conrad who is believable as the cop. I mean the whole thing has that mid--'70s junk cop show feel to it. Finally does anyone actually think Vera Miles is attractive?! Her scenes with David Groh (can't stand that dude!) were so pathetic!
