Goofs

When the boom of the KC-135 broke off of the 747, fuel would not still be coming out the way it did. The boom has a shut off value, and once disconnected from the receiver aircraft the fuel would stop to flow.

User Reviews

Pitiful

Is Michael Ironside so desperate he must resort to rubbish like this, which is so beneath him?

The plot was amazingly cookie cutter and predictable but that wasn't the worst of it. The science was some of the most pitifully inaccurate I've seen in a movie which was not intentionally a parody. You might as well try to put out forest fires with a giant vacuum cleaner which sucks them up only to deposit them in a cold climate to help warm all the little children suffering from the cold.

Where is MST3K when you need it?

Toss this drivel in the trash heap. There's no redeeming value here for anyone.
