Overview

A cargo aircraft crashes in a sandstorm in the Sahara with less than a dozen men on board. One of the passengers is an airplane designer who comes up with the idea of ripping off the undamaged wing and using it as the basis for a replacement aircraft they need to build before their food and water run out.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut, ingenious survival drama where a stranded crew must overcome their fractious personalities and dwindling resources to build a makeshift plane from the wreckage. It's as much about human friction under pressure as it is about the technical feat itself.
