Added on Jan 12, 2019: Have not watched the 1965 original that stars Jimmy Stewart as the pilot Frank Towns and story location is the Sahara desert (per wiki, actual locations are at Buttercup Valley, Arizona and Pilot Knob Mesa,…

Very fun movie. Great performances, intriguing story, just wish it was a little shorter. That's all.

Gritty and intense survival film with a great cast, led by James Stewart in a very different role. This seems like the kind of movie ("Great Escape," "Where Eagles Dare") that you watch with your dad, which I mean as a compliment. Directed…

Robert Aldrich’s 1965 adventure drama is about a group of men trying to construct a new airplane from the parts of the one that crashed, stranding them in the middle of the desert. James Stewart stars with Richard Attenborough, Hardy…

🛩 A wonderful movie from start to finish. It was later remade, but why would you remake a movie that was just about perfect to begin with? = One hates to contradict akirakato below, but the German aerospace engineer was played by native…

Just saw the original 1965 version starring James Stewart which apparently SPL does not have at this time. I saw this version about 15 years ago. Both are very good; RIGHT STUFF star Dennis Quaid does a fairly good job but it's always hard…

Oh my Lord, that was terrible. I mean REALLY terrible, in every way. Almost every Follywood nonsensical film cliché was in it, no matter how much it didn't make sense to the story (the bossy female character that's really the brains...,…

This is a 1965 American aviation-survival drama produced and directed by Robert Aldrich, based on the 1964 novel of the same name by Elleston Trevor. Frank Towns (James Stewart) is the pilot of a twin-engine Fairchild C-82 Packet cargo…

One of my favorite movies of all time! With a great cast! Jimmy Stewart is the pilot of a plane that goes down in the Sahara. The movie illustrates how the different personalities on the plane react to their situation. Suspenseful,…

Director Robert Aldrich had it all on the movie set of "The Flight of the Phoenix". He had a great script and a great cast. Today Richard Attenborough died, and he gave this movie a great performance. He stared along with James Stewart,…

Yes, this is a movie that deserves more attention. I first saw it on t.v. - as a young girl in the 1970's. It is one of my favourite films (along with The Third Man and To Kill a Mockingbird). I have not seen the remake.

I'll say this remake is actually more exciting. You watch the trailer for the original, it claims an action-packed tale - which neither are. The performances of Dennis Quaid, Miranda Otto (Lord of the Rings) and especially Giovanni…

You already know what the story is about, and you already know how it will end. But you watch anyway and you are entertained, and you find yourself just rooting for the plane and the crew. Story of determination, survival, yahdahdidah. …

I have the remake of this movie by 20th Century Fox with Denis Quaid in 2005. The story line is same in both with more grandiose scenes and a a few additional suspended moments in the newer release. I give this version only four stars…
