Trivia

The fictitious airline is Erebus Air. The name is derived from Mount Erebus, a volcano in Antarctica. On 28 November 1979, Air New Zealand Flight 901 crashed on its flanks, killing all 257 passengers and crew members. Most of the wreckage remains on Mount Erebus to this day.

Goofs

With the plane locked in autopilot, it would not be possible to maneuver so precisely to use a lava bomb to remove a non working engine let alone do it so perfect that it doesn't cause severe damage to the wings causing the plane to lose aerodynamics and crash. Nor could the see where the bombs are from the windows of the cockpit to execute it so perfectly.

User Reviews

OMG you have to be kidding, right?

I can summarize this review by simply saying that if Dean Cain and Robin Givens (former Mrs. Mike Tyson punching bag) is in the movie, just walk on by, nothing to see here. You have to say to yourself, who in god's name would even accept a screenplay written about an airplane, an airliner no less, that is somehow out of all improbability flown into the center of a ring of volcano's that are erupting at the same time?? Have you EVER heard of any more than ONE volcano in any geographic area erupting? No, cause it has never happened in recorded history. And of course the FAA didn't see this, even just one of the volcano's causing a flight hazard?? Well maybe an FAA under the incompetent Oblamo Administration. Anything more written is an even bigger waste of time than seeing this boil of a movie. Go and rent the original "Airport" movie and have a good laugh at a great pun filled comedy instead. As for Dean Cane, take up selling Real Estate in Hollywood instead and stay off the Big and Little screen, please.
