6/10???

I gave it 2 stars, due to the ridiculous scene where toward the end of the movie the plane and crew faces a sandstorm that nearly covers the entire plane, save for the top of the tail. Clearly overwhelmed by the prospect of seeing the plane covered in sand, knowing that it is likely the finish, given the crews weakened, dehydrated physical condition, plus an armed desert band looking to avenge the loss of comrades, one of the crew elects to start digging the plane out by hand, not giving up. "The next scene" then shows them pulling the plane on a "cleared path" to taxi and get the plane started. That, my friends, kills the entire picture, for no one can possibly believe that what's left of the physically depleted crew, lacking water, can dig out "by hand", a 16 foot tall plane, nearly covered in sand with no clear path to taxi such plane, but on the next day with an armed desert band waiting to strike, they are not only able to dig the plane out, but also provide a cleared path to taxi, a path that appeared to have been bulldozed, and subsequently takeoff. At the least it would take them nearly 6 months to dig the plane out by hand, plus clear a path to taxi such plane, while fending off an armed band of desert rabble. That is the most insulting scene in a movie I've ever seen and a poor remake of the original starring the late Jimmy Stewart.
