This aeronautics drama and thriller is based on the novel by Alex Haley. During a massive snowstorm a mentally disabled former military man (Van Heflin) carries an explosive device within his carry-on case with the aim to blow up the jumbo jet in order to provide an insurance policy for his wife (Maureen Stapleton) in response to his dire financial catastrophe. Crew pilot (Dean Martin) must keep the crew and passengers calm show more and safe throughout their landing. There are about ten uses of vulgarity. Highly recommend.
