Flight Time

This DVD duo shares the common framework of AIRPLANES but unlike many of its predecessors it does not merely focus on the traditional disaster "airport" prototype. Mercy Mission is actually based on a true story and as you watch you will become immersed into the real life drama. Robert Loggia gives a powerful performance and the story focuses on the human spirit and lessons learned rather than technology and special effects. The other movie on the disc, Nowehere to Land, is more like the traditional disaster movie but the acting of Jack Wagner and the intricate storyline make this one just as equally pleasing to watch. So, make sure that your tray tables are closed and in their upright position and get ready to watch some riveting "air" drama movies. August 24, 2008

DOUBLE EMOTION!!

This DVD is very, very good! Two films about airplane stories and one inspired in real life!
My favourite is "Mercy Mission" where Scott Bakula and the veteran Robert Loggia are great! Scott is the pilot of a smal airplane lost in the Pacific Ocean who is helped to safely land by a commercial airline senior pilot. It is really touching. Watch it if you have not done it yet. It's marvelous!! The second film is not as wonderful as the first one but is worth seeing, indeed. "Nowhere to land" is the story of of a flight from Australia to the USA where a maniac ex-husband of one of the passengers hides a gas bomb inside the plane and cowardly leaves the aircraft before it takes off. The fight of the pilot and co-pilot to take the plane safely to land in LA before the gas spreads all over is what makes us watching this good film up to the very end! August 11, 2008

Superb Family Movie

I saw this film quite accidentally one evening while channel surfing and became engrossed in the story almost immediately. It is a disarmingly entertaining tale about a pilot who becomes lost over the Pacific Ocean in his small plane and seems certain to die as his plane is running out of fuel. His only hope is a resourceful and determined Air New Zealand commercial pilot who happens onto the unfolding drama, along with his planeload of passengers. The commercial pilot has to convince the Cessna pilot not to give up when everything looks hopeless and, at the same time, convince skeptical passengers that this is an effort worth taking a risk on. Overall, the story is gripping and highly entertaining. The final outcome is very inspiring and the movie as a whole provides a great message about what great and moral leadership is all about. A film you will want to watch with your children over and over. July 31, 2008

I got this for my husband for Christmas. He had not seen it for a long time. He watched parts on t.v. He likes having his own copy and really enjoyed both movies. January 22, 2008

Mercy Mission

I missed the first part when it was on the PBS channel so I bought it. I really liked the story, real edge of your seat movie. I like the plane crash genre, the second movie on this is good. January 21, 2008
