Flight of the Phoenix
It's "Survivor Gobi Desert" meets "Pimp My Ride" at the movies in this reincarnation of a 1965 classic film starring Jimmy Stewart. The title of the movie alone should clue you in to what is going to happen when a cargo plane full of oil well workers and their equipment crash in Mongolia. Giovanni Ribisi masterfully plays the mysterious and odd stranger who is a last minute addition to the passenger list and is key to the rescue attempt. Alien thought this remake was nicely updated to today's standards while keeping the memorable scenes from the original. The film highlights the desert and its beauty explored during day and night, during lightning and sand storms.
Alien gives it 3 "fear of flying" stars out of 4.
