Title: just terrible
Product review: This movie is a total waste of time- except maybe for the sequences showing the 707 in flight- still a beautiful airplane.The plot is contrived, and stupid. Charleton Heston is his usual overacting self- and most all the other actors seem to be just going through the motions. Roosevelt Greer was attempting to build a career as an actor at the time, and you can clearly see why he's not acting now. James Brolin's performance as the hijacker is embarassing to watch, particularly when he starts to look like a wild-eyed lunatic.One of my favorite parts of this movie is when the Soviet fighters (North American F-100 Super Sabers)intercept the airliner in Alaska and then proceed to escort it ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SOVIET UNION to Moscow.One particularly hilarious thing is where they dub a deeper voice for John Fiedler (the mousey guy who always played a dormat.) Apparently his real voice was too high pitched. However, his character is so minor in the movie that they could have cast anyone.
