This is a heart warming tale of how the threat of a plane crash can bring a family closer together. It’s also a study in bad wig design. Every single person in this film wears a bad wig, except perhaps the daughter. This could have been a great film, had they spent as much money on screen writers as they did on bad wigs!

Anyway, our story begins with Nicole, the angsty often-ignored 13 year old daughter of a Computer tycoon. She has been kicked out of her 3rd boarding school, and is on her dad’s private jet on her way home to see the Family. She has stolen her dad’s most prized possession, a baseball bat belonging to some famous baseball player. “He loves it more than he loves me” she whines piteously to her dad’s personal secretary (sob sob).

Nicole, Andrea (dad’s secretary) and Frank (a fat guy who also works for Dad) are in for the ride of their lives. They’re flying right into a storm. Lightning strikes the plane and almost kills the pilot and copilot. Nicole must fly the plane by herself, with only the aid of a hip young flight controller who has the worst wig in the entire film.

Can the endangered flight be rescued in time? Can Nicole stop whining long enough to save the day? Several botched attempts are made to unload the passengers from the plane before Nicole makes a prefect landing with it. This landing was perfect! I’ve never been in a plane that landed so well! It didn’t even bounce! Perhaps the next time I fly in a plane, I should get a bratty teen in peril to land it. Anyway, if there’s one thing that will make a pouty adolescent grow up, and make a distanced Dad realize how much he loves his little girl, it’s the threat of aviation catastrophe. Perhaps you should keep this in mind the next time you’re in the middle of a family argument. “See you later, Dad! I’m off to fly a 727 in the rain!” It could work!
