About this product
Product Information
In Robert Aldrich's THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, based on Elleston Trevor's novel, a small plane carrying oil workers and military personnel crashes, stranding a group of survivors in the Sahara Desert. As the lethal heat and grating sand begin to take a toll on the group, the conscientious pilot, Frank Towns (James Stewart), struggles with his inability to lead the party to safety. Hope arises, however, when German aircraft designer Heinrich Dorfman (Hardy Kruger) begins to theorize about rebuilding the wreckage into a single-engine plane capable of lifting the crash victims to safety.Aldrich (KISS ME DEADLY) opens his film with the pulsating tension (intercut with the opening credits) of Towns trying and cataclysmically failing to pilot his aircraft through a sandstorm, and from there the white-knuckle intensity never lets up. Boasting an intriguing cast--headed up by Stewart with a poignantly ragged-edged, heartfelt portrayal--and a taut story line, THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX is a powerful and psychologically penetrating thriller.Product Identifiers

Character-driven survival ckassuc
This classic film, remade but impossible to update or improve, assembles a superb cast in a unique survival drama. A plane downed in the desert strands an odd collection of men (yes, all men) who must struggle to hope for an impossible chance of rescue. The plot turns on brains as well as endurance, with a stunning twist to challenge their and our belief. Resist spoilers, transport your mind to a lower-tech era, and let the characters (and amazing portrayals) carry you into their crisis. This classic film was a family favorite for decades. In older days with no videos, few TV channels, and pre-set weekly schedules, we’d suddenly discover this gem in the TV listings! At that point, even the teenagers in the household would cancel plans in order to watch the movie with my parents. James Stewart has never been more natural and convincing, and this is Hardy Kruger’s star turn. A terrific movie. I envy those who will be able to see it for the first (but not last) time. Enjoy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Drama
I like both this original and the remake. This one has great dramatic interaction between characters. There are many famous actors, including Ernest Borgnine and George Kennedy. The remake tops it in gripping music, but this one has better drama.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great DVD!
The Flight of the Phoenix is a very well planned, dramatic story brought to life on film. James Stewart is one of my favorite actors. The supporting cast made the film a true, unbeatable gem.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great all-around
What makes this movie especially great is that despite the relatively simple plot/storyline, the acting and pacing is superb. Each actor portrays his character to the utmost, never a boring moment. I don't know why they remade it recently, as it couldn't have been done better than this. The only negative for me was the common movie mistake of wrapping up the climax/ending a little too quickly. I suppose feature-length films need to be a certain length.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Characters study
An interesting study in how various character almost archtypes react to stress and hope. I saw this probably when I was about 5 years old, and it's well worth it to see and enjoy again 50+ years on, on something that looks and sounds a lot better than the12 inch black and white tv I remember seeing it on. Sometime soon will be Sold Survivor, another film I recall seeing about the same time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Movie.
I loved this movie and now have both versions, IMHO, the original, starring Jimmy Steward is much better than the remake starring Dennis Quaid. The story is less contrived.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
