A
man who is having a crisis of faith after his brother’s death finds himself
flying a light plane with his family on board after the pilot unexpectedly
dies. This 2023 film stars Dennis Quaid and Heather Graham, and is based on the
true story of Doug White, who brought in a King Air private plane and landed
safely with no flight experience, simply by listening to the instructions of a
flight instructor and an air traffic controller over his radio and on the
phone. This is a short, very involving film as the situation spirals out of
control for the family on board, and White becomes the only person who can save
the lives of those he loves. This movie is produced by Roma Downey, who is
probably best known for her acting career, which included the role of
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the NBC miniseries A Woman Named Jackie. She is
also president of Lightworkers Media, and this film has a decidedly faith-based
tone to it. But, though all the cast is excellent, I think it is the naked
terror on Quaid’s face as he is forced to do something for which he is
completely unprepared that sells this one. Definitely a must see for anyone who
loves exciting, tense, and inspirational true stories.
