CRASH is a superb made-for-TV disaster movie based on actual events. It starts off strong, getting right to the catastrophic plunge of flight 401 into the Everglades. Then, we're taken back in time to the days leading up to the fateful flight. We get the backstories of the people on board. This makes us familiar with them, adding to the tragic drama of it all.
A galaxy of 1970's stars make up the cast. Eddie Albert is the grumpy pilot. Adrienne Barbeau and Sharon Gless are the cheerful head Stewardesses. William Shatner is a very thorough Safety Inspector. Ron Glass is a businessman. Several other familiar faces also appear. For Shatner's part, he even gets to do the voiceover narration.
From the opening catastrophe to the harrowing aftermath and rescue, this is one hell of a movie!
For Shatner fans who've never seen this, it's one of his best roles...
