It's the Academy Award nominated original that started it all, paving the way for sensational sequels and a whole new style of action. In this original, Mel Bakersfeld (Burt Lancaster), the hard-nosed operations manager, must deal with a suicidal bomber aboard an international flight piloted by Vernon Demerest (Dean Martin) - who is dealing with problems of his own brought on by the unexpected pregnancy of his mistress, Gwen (Jacqueline Bisset). Now Mel must help bring the plane safely back through a perilous snowstorm and onto the ground with the help of Joe Patrioni (Academy Award Winner George Kennedy)
