[@manilowmaniak]

I wish they made more even though some of the scenarios are laughable. It seems always the pilot gets killed and someone on the plane that doesn't know how to fly ends up being the pilot😀 (Executive Decision, Air Force One, etc..). I prefer train movies over planes though. There are more options on a train.

[@Muzikgirl67]

One of the reviewers in TV Guide named this movie as one of the "Ten Best Made-For-TV Movies of 1985" in an issue of TV Guide that came out in January 1986...So, naturally, I wanted to check the film out! The movie originally aired on the NBC network on Sunday, November 17, 1985, a week before Thanksgiving, which fell on the 28th that year . I'm so happy to see it here complete, uncut and commercial free! Thank you so very much for posting and sharing this little piece of TV history with all of us! I thoroughly enjoyed watching! Let the good TV Movies play on, and take care! Ms. Elizabeth 📺📼📀📺📼📀

[@noahahlstrom3834]

almost like an early training film for a Flight 93, September 11th. 2001 scenario

[@sha11235]

I'd love to have seen that TV Guide review. The film was made due to the event earlier that year of the TWA hijacking in June 1985. The main thing is at the end when the passengers are able to overpower the terrorists by luck and debate whether or not to just kill them now or hand them over to the authorities when they land and let the system take its course. There are good arguments on both sides, if you think about it. There were actually 2 endings shot: The one that aired originally, which we see here, and another one, where they hang the three terrorists' dead bodies.

[@Kim.Bandit.Sinbad]

Thank you for confirming that there was another ending. I just commented about that and I wondered if anyone else had seen the other ending. @@sha11235

[@glennhoddle10]

The director shot 2 endings. The one shown here was the American one broadcast on NBC in 1985. For overseas markets, they used the alternate ending which was much more shocking whereby the passengers capture and hang the terrorists : there is a chilling scene showing the feet of the terrorists dangling in the aisles.

[@carlreed6186]

Was Orangeman one of the terrorists?

[@antispindr8613]

That is really nasty and totally needless. Then again, in the album Road To Hell, does not Chris Rea ask film and TV producers why they show the things they do?

[@dfuher968]

Well, at least the alternative version has an actual ending then, instead of this lame version with open questions just hanging out there.

[@PiratesRock-dm8mt]

This was no ending at all. The alternative would have made a better movie.

[@ginaloverofangels]

This movie was filled with suspense. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@49LivingtheDream]

I believe this movie is based on the TWA Flight 847 hijacking on June 14, 1985. I remember it well, being in my early 20s. The pilot was often shown on TV, witih a gun held at his head, as he was in the cockpit with the hijackers. Robert Stetham, one of the hostages, was killed.

[@RindaJane]

I remember this as well. In 1985 I was 21. Now age 60 come August. Someone was talking about how things have changed since 1985. I was married to a Navy man and our daughter was born in December of 84. She is a mom to 3 and will be 40 this December.. life has definitely come full circle. 😔

[@plateshutoverlock]

I remember watching the live coverage on TV when I was 8 years old. One thing that stuck with me was one of the hijackers firing a shot out of the plane that hit right into one of the TV cameras' lens head on, making the picture go to static. They later showed the cameraman examining his damaged camera in disbelief but he himself was OK. I'm still trying to find footage of that moment as it really stuck with me seeing it live as a kid.

[@sha11235]

I have to say this because I've thought about it lately: Mr. Singer talks about his father being a tailor and he came from a small village north of Warsaw. If you see the musical Fiddler on the Roof, you have that tailor character Motel, who with his wife Tzietel and their child at the end go to Warsaw while the rest of her family goes to NYC. I have it in my head that Motel and Tzeitel never came to America and stayed in Poland and then were killed by the Nazis but their son Mr. Singer survived. The point is they made a connection unintentionally with Fiddler on the Roof to one of the hostages.

[@Kim.Bandit.Sinbad]

Thank you for posting! I've seen this movie many times, but it had a different ending. In fact, I think the other ending was more powerful, but maybe they re-released the movie with this ending. spoiler warning: In the other version, after the big debate about what to do with the hijackers, the camera slowly pans down the passengers sitting in their seats looking very deep in thought. Then you see some empty rows. Finally, you see the shoes and legs of each hijacker hanging down so the assumption is that the passengers took justice into their own hands and hanged all 3 terrorists. Does anyone else remember this ending?

[@delorisharrison6731]

Wow….. Mandela effect?

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

This version is the edited version for US television, the ending you described was shown outside the US.

[@jaredjlinden]

Yep - this was the version shown originally on NBC. A few years later, I caught it in syndication (on a local channel in the US) and they had the other ending that you described).

[@LPCLASSICAL]

That ending would have been better than this botched mess where the policeman is killed by a passenger.

[@sha11235]

That ending I have a question with. Where are Hector and Rita among the passengers? We don't see them.

[@tobro3000]

This is the original version. The best one. There is an alternate version that was filmed too, with a different ending. One of the best tv movies I ever watched.

[@dfuher968]

I'll have to look for the alternative version, coz this was a lame "ending". Did they decide to hand over the remaining terrorists to the authorities? Did DiSalvio live or die? Theres no answers.

[@isabellegauthier4318]

[@LindenAstle]

You would think after movies like this every precaution would have been taken to avoid 9 / 11 in 2001 !

[@hlowrylong]

Much of the 9/11 hijackers success was due to the notion of pre-9/11 hijacking circumstances like this movie. We were all trained as passengers to believe that the hijackers wanted to live, so we should bow to their demands. 9/11 proved that to be incorrect. Moreover, don’t you think security is a tad tighter now … and even on 9/11 .. than what this fictional movie presents? 9/11 hijackers used box cutters. Firearms don’t get stowed in coffee pots or in the bathroom. 😂

Fundamentalist Islamism had been in plain sight for years, but Bill Clinton was too busy with cigars & interns to properly pass on the immediate information to the Bush administration during the transition. And sadly, all politicians seem to appreciate a crisis as it gives them the opportunity to take more power and control of the People. I had worked in WTC 2, but fortunately had left my job & NYC before 2001, but I never imagine those towers could fall down. I’ll never forget that day. Sigh.

The hijackers have different accent and probably have different nationalities. One man (the one who’s in the cockpit and gives orders to the others) has a slight Arab accent, the woman has an accent that sometimes sound French but by listening more carefully it’s more likely to be German accent, the one overweight with the white shirt (only one who has been outside of the aircraft) has an Irish accent, and there one with the suit have a French accent. Maybe the one in the cockpit it’s the boss and some of the others are mercenaries, they don’t seem to be close to each other or to know each other’s lives or to have been “worked” together before.

[@erickamarieulep9133]

[@sha11235]

I think the idea was Nasrallah (the leader-guy in cockpit) was the leader of the four that were attempting to free their overall leader from that English jail. They said they were the People's Liberation Army. Maybe they have different chapters in different countries, hence the different accents?

[@MrBowtie1982]

obviously you dont remember 9/11

[@sha11235]

DiSalvio was a cop and had a gun, but he was wise to hide it before being searched so they wouldn't do anything to him. He waited until the right moment to retrieve it and was able to get rid of one of the terrorists. At the same time, the woman who Nasrallah beat up had regained consciousness and got that coffee pot and waited until he came back to spill it all over his face and blind his ass and Cooper had the seat belt weapon he made to knock out Rune. Basically, once one terrorist was disarmed, it was easier for the passengers to fight back and disarm the others. What would I have voted for? Probably to kill them, because that would guarantee that they'd never bother anyone again, but that might've been my anger towards the ordeal talking.

[@carmelpule8493]

It was a good film apart from when the captain said at 1:29:29, that he was responsible for the passengers on the aircraft. At times he was absolutely helpless and the others did all the work to overcome the terrorists. That was all bunkum as the prime responsibility of any pilot is to save his own life ............ then everyone gains out of that. If a pilot does not value his life, as happened in many cases, then the passengers will go with him, I need not mention all the many cases that happened., but it happened many times, one being when Arthur Bud Holland did not value his own life, when flying the B-52 Bomber, and the rest is history.

They cut the ending. In the end it pans to the back of the plane and all the hijackers are hanging.
