The Flight Of The Phoenix – 1965 – James Stewart
The story follows a small group of men struggling to survive their aircraft’s emergency landing in the Sahara.
It stars an ensemble cast, with James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Peter Finch, Hardy Kruger, Ernest Borgnine, Ian Bannen, Ronald Fraser, Christian Marquand, Dan Duryea and George Kennedy.
Frank Towns is the pilot of a twin-engine Fairchild C-82 Packet cargo plane flying from Jaghbub to Benghazi in Libya where a sudden sandstorm disables the engines, forcing Towns to crash-land in the Sahara desert. The radio is unusable, and the survivors are too far off course to be found by searchers.
Aboard the plane is a large quantity of pitted dates but only enough water for ten to fifteen days if rationed.
The race is on how to escape the heat of the desert or die!
