In the history of world cinema, there are many movies adapted from real air crashes, such as survival on snowy mountains, hijacking by terrorists, damage to the cabin into "convertible", and "hero captain" almost turned into a "perpetrator"... The history of aircraft in distress has exposed many eternal human propositions.
"We Want to Go Back Alive" (1993)
This movie is also known as "Legend of Life". The real incident behind it is the 1972 Andean air crash. This air crash threw the most controversial proposition of human nature to people.
In October 1972, an amateur rugby team from Uruguay, the "Old Christians" chartered the Uruguayan Air Force 571, to Santiago, the capital of Chile, to participate in the game. Encountered a storm during the voyage, the plane hit the mountain and crashed deep in the Andes. Of the 45 members on board, 17 were killed instantly. The 28 people who survived suffered another avalanche in the extreme cold, pain, and hunger. In the end, only 16 people contacted for rescue and finally walked out of the snow.
survived the 70-day limit in the depths of the snow-capped mountains at minus 35 degrees, but was overshadowed by their inspiration-in the later stage of food shortages, they survived by eating the bodies of their companions in disaster. This has caused a huge response in American society after the movie was released. Whether or not to eat the corpse of a companion to survive is also an eternal topic in all disaster survival.
"Thrilling Flight 93" (2006)
This is a fictional and realistic movie. What the movie tries to restore is the true story that happened in the terrorist attack of "9.11".
In this attack, there were 4 passenger planes hijacked by terrorists. Three of them hit the U.S. Twin Towers and the Pentagon of the U.S. Department of Defense. The remaining one crashed into a clearing on the route to Washington, DC. This plane is the prototype of the movie story-United Airlines Flight 93. The flight
93 was delayed for more than 25 minutes at take-off. It was this time difference that allowed the passengers on the plane to learn that the Twin Towers had been hit during the flight, and thus rose up against the hijacking terrorists. After the
terrorists took control of the cockpit, the phone records of the passengers on the plane to their relatives, friends and the FBI showed that the passengers had spontaneously organized to attack the cockpit in despair. All sorts of clues showed that it was their actions that forced the terrorists to change their intended target of crashing into the Capitol, and crashed to the ground midway.
, a film with a budget of only 15 million US dollars and no big-name actors, finally won two Oscar nominations, and what really shines in people’s memory is the brave hearts of the passengers.
"Captain Sally" (2016)
is an adaptation of the film based on an emergency landing on the water in the United States in 2009 after a dangerous passenger opportunity. The prototype of the
distress airliner is US Airways Flight 1549. In the afternoon, the plane took off from LaGuardia Airport in New York. During the climb, it encountered a group of Canadian Barnacle Geese. The engine was suspected to be inhaled due to migratory birds. The whole process of the
accident occurred from about 1 minute to the 6th minute after the plane took off. In the short few minutes of fright, the danger was twists and turns: the return to the airport failed, and the emergency landing to Tetboro Airport in New Jersey failed. The chief decided to avoid densely populated areas and risked an emergency landing of the passenger plane on the Hudson River that runs through New York City, creating the miracle that all the people on board survived. The captain has also become a national hero. The
movie will focus on after the incident. On the one hand, public opinion blindly sought after Captain Sally, and on the other hand, the Transportation Safety Committee questioned Sally’s crisis handling methods.
Tom Hanks' performance became a highlight of the film, and the film was nominated for an Academy Award.
"Nine Heavens" (1990)
took a "convertible plane", which is the true state of the film's prototype Aloha Airlines Flight 243 in distress.
One day in April 1988, Flight 243 burst into action during its flight.Loss of pressure, the upper half of the first-class cabin was completely damaged, and the nose and the fuselage were in danger of being separated and disintegrated at any time. After more than 10 minutes, they made a safe landing at Kafului Airport on Maui Island. At the time of the incident, one crew member was sucked out of the cabin and died, and the remaining 65 crew members and passengers were injured to varying degrees. The
aircraft flew in an incredible state and landed successfully, and most of the people on board survived. These are considered unprecedented. The incident was also adapted into a movie due to its dramatic drama.
"Crash Landing Flight" (2012)
This is a feature film adapted from the real experience of a Canadian captain. The director has filmed immortal classics such as "Forrest Gump" and "Remains of a Deserted Island" Robert Zemigis.
One late night in August 2001, Transatlantic Airlines Flight 236 took off from Toronto, Canada, preparing to fly to the Portuguese capital Lisbon. On the way, the plane broke down and both engines were completely paralyzed. The pilot and deputy used superb driving skills to make the plane crash-landed at Lagos Airport in the Azores. All 304 people on board survived and only 9 were slightly injured. . Captain
quickly became a national hero, but as the media dig deeper, his experience of being arrested for drug trafficking was exposed. The wind changed overnight and public opinion began to question whether he was a "hero" or a "perpetrator." The story of this movie is derived from here.
This is a discussion on the definition of "hero". Does a hero have to be perfect?
"Frontline of the Air Crash" (1992)
is adapted from the 1989 Sioux City Air Crash.
In July 1989, the second engine of United Airlines Flight 232 (located at the base of the tail) was detached during operation due to defects in the manufacture of fan blades, which damaged all three hydraulic systems on the aircraft and caused the control function of each wing to fail. , The final plane made an emergency landing in Sioux City, Iowa, which was called the Sioux City Air crash. Although
caused the tragedy of 110 deaths among 285 passengers and 1 death among 11 flight attendants during the forced landing, the original casualties would have been even more severe if the crew were not rescued properly.
Since the people on the ground knew that the plane might crash during an emergency landing, the TV cameraman had already been waiting at the airport to record the process of the plane's emergency landing, making it one of the most completely recorded air crashes in aviation history. The film adapted from the story of the plane crash has won several awards and other nominations including Emmy Awards.
"Emergency Landing" (2000)
In September 1998, after the China Eastern Airlines McDonnell Douglas 11 2173 passenger plane took off from Shanghai to Beijing, the front landing gear malfunctioned. The crew used the air "throw and release" method to no avail, and hit with an axe. The place where the landing gear got stuck was invalid and made an emergency landing on the main runway of Shanghai Hongqiao Airport that night.
This forced landing, 120 passengers and 17 crew members on board, except for 6 passengers and 3 flight attendants who suffered minor injuries during the emergency evacuation, all evacuated safely. The plane did not catch fire, which protected the safety of national property and the lives of passengers. , Won the honor for civil aviation.
In the air crash, there is nothing more that affects people's hearts than the missing Malaysian flight on March 8, 2014. The
incident finally came to an end in July 2018, after the Malaysian government released a 822-page final report to the families of the missing. Five months later, the Malaysian MH370 accident investigation team was officially disbanded, and the cause of the disaster has become an eternal mystery. Perhaps in the future, the Malaysian MH370 accident will also be put on the screen to commemorate all the 239 passengers and crew members who died in the accident.
