Here's a cult camp classic about a crazed Vietnam vet that skyjacks an airliner and threatens to blow it up if his demands are not met...
This one has a ton of stars, check it out... We have Charlton Heston, Yvette Mimieux, James Brolin, Claude Akins, Jeanne Crain, Susan Dey, Rosey Grier, Mariette Hartley, Walter Pidgeon, Ken Swofford, Leslie Uggams, Ross Elliott and more!
Early into the flight, Captain O'Hara learns that there is a deranged person on board the plane, and they are threatening harm to the passengers and crew.
James Brolin plays the nervous vet Jerome Weber, he sweats a lot throughout the movie...
Besides having a bomb on the plane, mother nature brings on the lightning and rain storm. Ben Puzo talks with the crew on landing the plane in Anchorage, as demanded by the bomber. On the way, a small plane is on a collision course with the airliner, and the Captain has to make a quick decision, barely missing the other plane!
The cat's out of the bag now and Jerome uses a live grenade to hold off the passengers, especially Gary, who wants to gets his hands on the insulting maniac. There's Walter there on the left, who plays a Senator that gets punched in the stomach by the sadistic Jerome. Most of the passengers were permitted to leave the plane in Anchorage, except these guys.
The deranged vet shows the Captain something interesting, lookit, all he has to do is push this button here and the bomb goes off, so, you know, watch your step!
Jerome has forced the crew to fly into Russian air space!! He has illusions of grandeur that he will be a Russian hero, the demented fool...
So, Russian jets show up and designate the airliner to land at a remote area.
All the soldiers pull out their rifles and fix them on the plane...
The Captain assesses the damage to the plane, wow, what a mess!
Jerome cleans himself up for his big moment with the Russians...
But, when he climbs in the cabin and looks out the window, he doesn't see a parade, just men holding rifles, all pointed at the plane! All the hot air has just been let out of his balloon.
Then, here's the good stuff... Everything was a hoax, there is NO bomb, he didn't need one, just bluffs! All he had were some grenades and a gun. Charlton tries to choke Jerome with his rifle but the vet knows karate and is tough. He goes after the Captain's eyes as payback. Whoa, Charlton looks so weird there, like when you pinched your cheeks to make a creepy face for the girls, back when you were ten!
Jerome ends up shooting the Captain! And, now it's time to exit the plane...
Jerome's wearing a grenade belt, he ends up making a threatening movement and gets shot up but good. A bullet strikes a grenade and the evil ass is blown back to Hell! Don't worry, the Captain makes it. Join us again on Wednesday for more fun and probable destruction, here at The Dungeon!!..
