Short description
When an oil rig in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia proves unproductive, an aircraft crew are sent to shut the operation down and fly them out. On the flight out over the desert on the way to Beijing, Capt. Frank Towns and co-pilot A.J. are unable to keep their cargo plane, a C-119 Flying Boxcar, in the air when a violent sandstorm strikes. Crash-landing in a remote uncharted part of the desert, the two pilots and their passengers -- a crew of oil workers and a drifter -- must work together to survive by rebuilding the aircraft. Soon, low supplies and a band of merciless smugglers add even greater urgency to their task.
What's left behind the scenes
- Remembering that a stuntman died during the filming of the original movie while launching a specially built model of the "Phoenix", the new version of the scene with the flying plane was filmed using a radio-controlled model and computer graphics.
- The character of Miranda Otto did not exist in the original film.
- Filming took place in Namibia.
- The barge carrying equipment for the filming capsized, and many hours were spent retrieving it from the riverbed.
- The airplane model used in the crash scene cost $250,000. It was so perfect that it flew further than the film crew expected. The model flew so far that it crashed into a camera and broke the operator's leg.
- During filming, actor Jared Padalecki was in such a severe car accident that everyone thought he had died. Fortunately, he managed to survive.
- Remembering that one stuntman died during the filming of the original picture while launching a specially built 'Phoenix' model, the new version of the scene with the flying plane was filmed using a radio-controlled model and computer graphics.
