Flight of the Phoenix
If they stand together, they stand a chance.
When a C-119 cargo plane full of oil workers crashes in Mongolia's Gobi Desert during a sandstorm, the survivors attempt to build a new plane from the parts they find in the wreckage. Led by downed pilot Frank Towns (Dennis Quaid), the rag-tag group makes a desperate effort to stay alive and return to civilization. Giovanni Ribisi, Miranda Otto and Hugh Laurie co-star in this remake of the 1960s film that starred James Stewart as Towns.

this is a remake of a 1960's film and is done quite well. If you saw the original then you know the basic story here if not this is a movie worth watching because it is a good film. The acting is good and everyone works well together I did not mind Dennis Quaid he is good hereFlight of the Phoenix - 1413
A movie which is surprisingly better than expectations perhaps because I expected so little from it. It is interesting and not too cloying. Doesn't go over the top with trying to be feel good or overly inspirational. Premise and subplots aren't really all that believeable but it isn't so over the top that they are ridiculous.Give This One A GO - Avinash
I watched the old version and this one and i can say this one is more reflecting of the times.Great Story and the human aspects of the movie entice you allot to watch the movie till the end.The acting was masteful and Quaid does his thing with conviction.Surrounding cast looked well in supporting the story and even the antagonists of the movie made the watching process easy.This flick is 2 hours well spent and will not get you nervous with big needless explosions to grab you attention but you will bite your nails at times and might learn a few things about the realities of the desert.Might even like that preacher and the boxer joke while you watch and deepen the sense of the partial moral to be taken in consideration about faith
