Title: A Karen Black vehicle, all the way!
Product review: The Theme (aircrew disabled/dead, stewardess or passenger brings it in...) has been done and re-done. This one, however, stands out due to the superlative "10-star" performance by Karen Black. With little help from special effects, less from the screenwriters (mediocre story-line, at best), Black made me FEEL the terror, frustration, anger, desperation and elation as Nancy's predicament progresses. Putting aside the known improbability (I'm a former jet fighter pilot)of a non-pilot being able to quick-study command and control of a B-747, even with expert coaching, Black's emoting captivated me to the point where I BELIEVED her; she made it real for me. The plethora of other stars, including the mighty Heston, faded into supporting roles to Ms. Black in this one. She was absolutely superb. Buy this one; watch Karen Black show you acting as it should be.
