Synopsis

The passengers of a full commercial flight are involved in all the drama, passion and scheming of their varied lives--unaware of the imminent, sudden doom hurtling toward them. On the fighter plane, Dale Heath (Zimbalist, Jr.), flies his plane blind: His navigation and radio equipment have failed. He doesn't know if holding his course will fly him into a collision or if making a change will only increase the danger; he can't radio to tell anyone else that he is hurtling into blackness at close to the speed of sound--and he remembers that when this happened to him once before many people died!

  1. Great 60's Airplane Disaster Movie

    06 December 2008
    This movie had a lot of things that I enjoy: vintage commercial airplanes, old military airplanes, art, drama, romance, special effects, etc. In some respects, it must have served as a template for future airliner disaster movies. I don't know why, but I really enjoyed the heavy handed use of flashbacks and scenes where there's a close-up of a character, the surrounding lights dim, and we hear the character's private thoughts. Crowded Sky might not be your cup of tea, but it certainly was mine.
