Synopsis
When an oil rig in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia proves unproductive, an aircraft crew are sent to shut the operation down and fly them out. On the flight out over the desert on the way to Beijing, Capt. Frank Towns and co-pilot A.J. are unable to keep their cargo plane, a C-119 Flying Boxcar, in the air when a violent sandstorm strikes. Crash-landing in a remote uncharted part of the desert, the two pilots and their passengers -- a crew of oil workers and a drifter -- must work together to survive by rebuilding the aircraft. Soon, low supplies and a band of merciless smugglers add even greater urgency to their task.

Again one of those remakes where I can just ask, WHY? The 1965 original is so much better.

Mediocre movie, in which all the laws of aviation and aeronautical, have been dropped down!

>"The design is perfect, the only flaw is that we have to rely on you to fly it." I grew up always seeing the poster but never watching this. Now that I have seen it, I can see why. It is a little boring and just not that interesting. Something tells me the original must be the one that has all the flavor.

It literally wasn't until this moment, seeing the poster for this movie, that I remember that I actually went to see this movie, ON PURPOSE, at the theater. Now I remember that I was so disappointed in it, I literally blocked it from my memory. I can't remember anything that happens in the movie itself, I can only remember plot points from the original version I remember seeing when I a kid.

My first impression when I first watched this... the movie has a peculiar cinematography. Really - some shots were taken unusually (stills on individual's expression, panorama shot on the desert, etc). And despite being a movie in 2004, it feels so 90-ish (partly maybe because of the cinematography?). But that doesn't make it bad. It might feels unusual, but story, the pace, was built nicely. Good movie overall! The premise itself is already very interesting to watch. (Granted, I don't watch the original adaptation!)
