This movie came on rencently on BBC2 one afternoon and I was glad I taped it.
An aeroplane crash lands during a storm into a remote jungle. It has a motley collection of passengers including a murderer, an elderly couple, two young women and a small boy. What they don't know is that headhunters are watching them while the plane is being repaired. When it is eventually repaired, only so many of the party can go back and the murderer decides on who will do this. After the headhunters kill two of the party and another one is shot, the plane takes off with the murderer and the elderly couple left behind (they had decided to do this themselves).
The movie stars Robert Ryan as the plane's main pilot, an excellent performance from Rod Steiger as the murderer, Gene Barrie (War of the Worlds), Phyllis Kirk (House of Wax) and Anita Ekberg.
This movie is rather creepy in parts and I found it very enjoyable.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5.
