Story Line

When an oil rig in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia proves unproductive, an aircraft crew are sent to shut the operation down and fly them out. On the flight out over the desert on the way to Beijing, Capt. Frank Towns and co-pilot A.J. are unable to keep their cargo plane, a C-119 Flying Boxcar, in the air when a violent sandstorm strikes. Crash-landing in a remote uncharted part of the desert, the two pilots and their passengers -- a crew of oil workers and a drifter -- must work together to survive by rebuilding the aircraft. Soon, low supplies and a band of merciless smugglers add even greater urgency to their task.

Out of the ashes, hope will rise.

_"The design is perfect, the only flaw is that we have to rely on you to fly it."_ I grew up always seeing the poster but never watching this. Now that I have seen it, I can see why. It is a little boring and just not that interesting. Something t...
