I'd have to put the TV movie based on Arthur Hailey's "Runway Zero Eight" as
the worst movie. It's the classic two man crew gets food poisoning, and the
hero pax saves the day by landing plane (Martin 404?) scenario.


IMDB has never heard of a movie by that name. Are you sure you don't mean
"Zero Hour"? IMDB says Arthur Hailey wrote it, originally as a TV move
called "Flight Into Danger".


Oh, my mistake, IMDB says that a TV movie called "Terror In the Sky" was
based on an Arthur Hailey novel called "Runway Zero 8". Evidently Hailey
went to the "flight crew incapacitated by food, passenger takes over" well
a LOT. He didn't write the screenplay for "Terror in the Sky" like he did
for "Flight Into Danger" and "Zero Hour", though.

Get with the program, jeffrey. No one is 'wrong' on Usenet. They are
either 100% totally correct, or they are 'a lying, scum sucking weasel.'
There is no in-between. -- Garrett Johnson
