Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJodie Foster's role was originally written for Sean Penn. The original character's name of "Kyle" was even kept. Coincidentally, Penn's role in The Game (1997) was originally intended for Jodie Foster.
- GoofsThe avionics computers shown in the film appear to be an array of Cray supercomputers in the circular configuration typically seen in a supercomputer lab. In reality, avionics computers are small, ruggedized embedded systems which are distributed throughout the plane. Avionics computing requires highly reliable redundant systems, not massive computing power.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits roll over a blue wire frame animation of the airliner used in the movie.

Featured review
Original and fun
You can't say there's a movie like it really. Had a bit more leg work been done at the start, I think it would have even been better too.
I'm trying to think if this required more suspension of disbelief than a normal movie in the genre, and I think it's probably on par; whereas other flight thriller type stuff depends on the viewer on suspending it in other areas, this is more wild, sure, but also far more interesting.
