action
On the eve of US Independence Day , Flight 1055 crashes into a skyscraper in Denver when it lands. Even before this catastrophe, there were two comparable plane crashes in the USA. In a crisis meeting of the Federal Aviation Administration in Chicago, Neil McCabe expresses the suspicion that the respective on-board computers have been tampered with, which, however, meets with incomprehension, especially from his superior Sam Keller. Neil finds out that all of the affected aircraft had an Oxcellis computer chip on them. He discovers the upcoming Domaine Airlines Flight 672 , which has been diverted from Milwaukee to Washington, DC . Immediately he goes to Milwaukee. When he tries to stop the rolling machine, its on-board computer no longer reacts and develops a life of its own. In a daring maneuver, he can barely step onto the rolling machine.
There he meets pilot Paul O'Kelly and the stewardess Josie Wallace, who is on her last day at work. While Neil takes care of the on-board computer, the terrorist Cain reports, who declares that he has complete control of the aircraft. He steers the aircraft on a direct course into the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant . Pilot O'Kelly is seriously injured so that the copilot has to take over.
Together with Josie, Neil is now trying to disconnect the connections to the Oxcellis chip and thus be able to control the flight completely manually. But every time the on-board computer is intervened, Cain notices this and lets the aircraft dive into a dive. It turns out that Cain is a former Oxcellis employee whose safety concerns have consistently remained unheard of and who suffered severe facial disfigurements in a crash. Panic among passengers is becoming an increasing problem, as unforeseen reactions cost the life of the co-pilot, for example. When the FBI locates Cain's residence and sends a special unit there, it and Neil's colleague Rudy are killed in an explosion. The top level decides to shoot down the aircraft if it falls below a certain distance to the nuclear reactor. Cain drains fuel and brings the plane on approach. Neil's only chance is to disconnect all connections to the autopilot to gain control. However, the engines are then also switched off and then have to be restarted during the flight.
Neil takes this risk and lands the plane at Baltimore Airport under the instructions of Pilot O'Kelly , although the nuclear power station was only missed by a few meters. The injured Josie is put in an ambulance, which is driven by Cain. At the same time, it lets another aircraft start remotely from a hangar. But after a chase, Neil can overpower Cain, collide the ambulance with the rolling plane and save himself and Josie. They both kiss overjoyed.
criticism
"A simple action film with outdoor shots" from the (pocket) computer and reasonably staged stunts. "
“With a view to September 11, 2001, a pretty daring topic, this otherwise absolutely average B-action thriller from the Bonsai Bruckheimers Danny Lerner and Boaz Davidson chooses. For a well-known leading actor or five minutes of daylight, the budget did not quite come up again, but the aged Barbara Carrera spreads delicate celebrity shine in a supporting role. Played passably and reasonably exciting, therefore a moderate tip for those who watch a lot of action. "
