This is an average film that just happens to contain a large number of memorable quotes, and for that reason alone I would have to say that I enjoyed this movie. The storyline is rather uninspired, as this film tells the story of five completely different people who live in isolation after being the lone survivors of a plane crash. Needless to say, these polar opposites continually butt heads, and civil conversations almost always disintegrate into heated arguments. Yet having said all that, I still managed to like this film. The performances are all good, it moves along at a good pace, and the writing is clever enough that I still remember lines from this film, even though I haven't seen it in four years. I'm not quite sure of how available this film is, but if you ever come across it, give it a chance.

An enjoyable film - what would you do if cut off from civilisation? The characters in this made for TV movie take on the mantle of their favourite film stars. This is suggested by John Gordon Sinclair who plays the part of Henry (Fonda) and is a big film buff.
Henry has a dream one night in which he plays the part of Kirk Douglas in Spartacus. When the Roman asks the slaves to identify Spartacus, Tony Curtis stands up, points at Henry and says "He's Spartacus", then all the other slaves stand up, point at him and say "He's Spartacus". It was, at the very least, funny at the time.
