Pretty good

The passengers and the crew are in danger when they find out that a dangerous virus is in the airplane.They can't land because the virus must stay inside of the airplane.Some people are ready to shoot the plane down.Richard "MacGyver"Dean Anderson plays the captain James Holland in this thrilling TV movie.He does a great job in his part.There are also Daphne Zuniga you may remember from Melrose Place and Jane Leeves from Frasier.They all do a good job.Pandora's Clock keeps the suspense on all the time.Sure it's not a masterpiece, you should avoid this if you're expecting it to be one.But it is worth seeing if you like these kind of things.If you do I'm sure you won't get disappointed.
