In Mongolia, the test well of an oil field is shut-down by the company headquarter in Atlanta, and a plane piloted by Captain Frank Towns (Dennis Quaid) is sent to bring the workers back home. While flying over a storm, the plane crashes in the Mongolian desert. When they realize that they will not be rescued, they decide to build a new plane from the wreckage of the old one.
I found "Flight of the Phoenix" a great action movie. It is not a documentary, therefore flaws are very acceptable for entertainment purpose, but some IMDb users want to find technical accuracy in a fictional movie. I have not had the chance to see the original movie, and I did not know that this is a remake. Anyway, it is a suspenseful story, with good messages of hope, power of union, fight for survival and triumph of the human spirit. Although I respect, I also totally disagree with the underrated review of this good film. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "O Vôo da Fênix" ("The Flight of the Phoenix")
