Brand new factory sealed set of 5 airplane disaster movies, the first and shortest is in Black & White, the rest are in color. These are full screen since most are made-for-TV and no aspect ratio is given on the case. This set is Out Of Print (OOP) and no longer being manufactured. To collect these rare movies seperately would be costly.
FLIGHT to NOWHERE (B&W): This early fear-of-the-bomb movie has a plot with an FBI agent who tracks down a stolen map of atomic bomb source materials with the help of a charter pilot and a dizzy blonde. The posters said "Franco threatens with atomic energy!" and "The atom bomb may be used on America!" The low-budget production stars Alan Curtis, Evelyn Ankers, former cowboy star Hoot Gibson, and Jack Holt.
COLD EQUATIONS is a 1996 made-for-TV science fiction movie. Lt. John Barton (Bill Campbell) is sent on a risky emergency mission to deliver a vaccine to a distant planet's mining colony. His spacecraft has been precisely calibrated by-the-books to hold him and the medicine, so the discovery of a beautiful stowaway named Lee (Poppy Montgomery) and her added weight puts everything in jeopardy and Barton's superiors have a harsh solution! When they realize they can't land with both of them on board, the two race to prevent their own deaths.
AIRBORNE: Members of a covert special forces team are targeted for assassination after recovering a biochemical weapon from terrorists. But their elite Mach One team leader (Steve Guttenberg) decides to use the virus as bait to find out who wants them dead. Co-stars Sean Bean.
DEATH FLIGHT: Cutlass Aircraft has just built America's first supersonic jetliner, and a host of celebrities and other important people have booked tickets for the maiden voyage, including former sportscaster Lyle Kingman (Martin Milner) and his ex-wife (Susan Strasberg), CEO Paul Whitley (Peter Graves), a soon-to-be married couple (John de Lancie & Season Hubley), Cutlass PR man Tim Vernon (Bert Convoy) and his girlfriend Angela (Misty Rowe), television reporter Carla Stanley (Barbara Anderson), grounded pilot Hank Fairbanks (Doug McClure), and legendary aircraft designer Willy Basset (Burgess Meredith).
Unfortunately, the plane's hydraulic system has been sabotaged by a disgruntled Cutlass engineer (George Maharis), and last-minute passenger Dr. Thermin (Brock Peters) has brought a deadly strain of influenza on board. With no working controls at 60,000 feet over the Atlantic, Captain Walsh (Robert Reed), McClure, Meredith and Cutlass VP Marshall Cole (Lorne Greene), have to find a way to get Maiden One down safely. This made-for-TV airplane disaster movie is a lot more fun than it should be thanks to its all-star cult cast.
PRESIDENT's PLANE is MISSING: It's only a TV movie about the president's plane crashing and China threatening a nuclear attack, but it was held up for nearly three years because Nixon went to China in 1971 and ABC-TV didn't want to show a movie with Chinese bad guys! The all-star cast, which makes it one to look at, includes Buddy Ebsen as the inept vice president (in charge) named Kermit, Peter Graves, Arthur Kennedy, Raymond Massey, Mercedes McCambridge, Rip Torn, Dabney Coleman, Joseph Campanella, John Amos, and Todd Andrews ('From Hell it Came') as the president.
It's based on a novel by Rod Serling's brother Robert.
