Storyline

True story recounting the crash of Eastern Airlines, Flight 401, which crashed in the Everglades while on approach to Miami in December 1972. Accurate in many respects, the movie goes through the events leading up to the crash, the crash itself, and the rescue effort afterwards.

"The nerve-shattering experience of a lifetime. More astonishing because it actually happened."
