The Langoliers
written and directed by Tom Holland
As in Stephen King’s novella of the same name, this two-night made-for-TV movie follows
the ten people who find that they’re the only ones left on board a transcontinental
flight. Even after they land, nobody else is on the ground. In order of importance, the
movie is about (1) the characters, (2) horror, and (3) a little speculative fiction. In
the end, the resolution (involving time) is the same as in the novella.

I’ve been sitting here, running all these old stories through my head, you know: time
warps, space warps, alien raiding parties. I mean, we really don’t know if there’s
anything left down there, do we?
