5.0 out of 5 stars The best of made for television films!, January 11, 1999

This review is from: The Flight [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think this is Lindsay Wagner's finest performance. This film, known also as "The Taking of Flight 847: The Uli Derickson Story", describes the first two days of the TWA hijacking from 1985. The focus is on the heroic actions of the chief flight attendant, who Wagner plays in the movie. The performances in this film, particularly by those playing the hijackers and the crew members are first-rate. While this is not a complete look at the whole hijacking, this film examines what happened while a majority of the passengers were on board before the plane was emptied in Beirut 2 days into the hijacking. This film deserves a five-star rating because of its accuracy, its quality, and the cast's performance. It's probably the best made-for-TV movie I've seen. I highly recommend this film.

This project is first rate. Lindsay Wagner gives an Emmy calibur performance as the unexpected heroine in tragic circumstances. The production values are also first rate. It is refreshing to see a hijack story told so vividly and with solid performances from supporting cast, this is a story you will care about.The Flight was nominated for Best TV Movie or Mini-Series, It should have won. Lindsay Wagner deserved an Emmy nomination as well.This is one to view!
