Robert Aldrich's tense, 1965 drama about a plane crash in the Sahara is a unique psychological study of men in desperate circumstances. In this somewhat revisionist view of classic heroism, every character within the mixed lot is stretched to his limit, and individual efforts to brave the elements and hostile nomads are duly punished. What is left is collective will and ingenuity. One could call this an allegory for transcending Cold War madness, perhaps, but Aldrich (Kiss Me Deadly) makes this such a gritty, immediate experience that you can feel the desert sand in your teeth. Superb performances by James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Hardy Krüger, Peter Finch, and the rest. --Tom Keogh

"Flight of the Phoenix" is truly a superior film and is one of my all time favorites. An airplane carrying a cargo of men, mostly oil field types, crashes into the North African desert because of a sudden sand storm that the pilot, Jimmy Stewart, is unable to climb over. Several men are killed in the initial crash and Stewart is a writhing mass of guilt.
The ordeal, however, is by no means over. The crash site is hundreds of miles away from the nearest help and, worse, because the ... Read More

This film released in 1965 did less than sensational business at the box office even with a great all male cast which includes James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Hardy Kruger, Peter Finch, Ernest Borgnine, Christian Marquand & Dan Duryea and tight suspenseful plot.

Stewart is excellent as usual as the crusty WWII vet who is forced ... Read More

This movie was on TV recently and even though I bought the DVD last year,I still watched it. It is one of my all time favorites. I saw this at the same time I was studying and writing an essay on our energy situation when it occurred to me there was an interesting analogy, an analogy that I felt could be used in the essay. So here is a brief part of that essay.
The sub-title for this essay is from the movie, The Flight of the Phoenix. For those who have not seen this it featured a crash ... Read More

As my title says, this movie is in great measure a vindication of model airplane afficianados like myself (disclaimer showing my bias) as well as the many thousands of men, women, and kids who are involved in this wonderful hobby, art, and sport all rolled into one.
We take a lot of guff for 'playing with toy airplanes,' but anyone with a grain of sense knows that there is virtually no difference between a model and a full size aircraft. These days, the line is even less clear, given the ... Read More
