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.
— Michael Main
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?
