- “The Rift” by Don Handfield and Richard Rayner, directed by Mark Mylod (Apple TV, 3 April 2020).
After a dogfight, a World War II plane flies through a time rift and into a 21st-century field near Dayton, where a single mom saves the pilot from the wreckage and her step-son saves the pilot from other dangers.
—Michael Main
Sir, I know it’s a doorway and all, and we gotta send everything back there, but in training they did not really tell us what happens if we don’t.
