The Flight of the Phoenix
When a cargo plane crashes in the desert, the only hope for the survivors is to try to rebuild the craft before they all perish from heat, deprivation and hostile Arabs. A veteran bomber pilot off-screen, James Stewart is perfectly cast as the Captain, and Richard Attenborough is superb as the navigator. Also starring Peter Finch and Ernest Borgnine, 'The Flight of the Phoenix' combines finely-honed character studies with a plot charged with suspense making it one of director Robert Aldrich's most memorable films.
