Flight of the Phoenix

This is a 1965 drama starring Jimmy Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Peter Finch and Ernest Borgnine. A plane flown by Jimmy Stewart crashes in the Sahara Desert. A passenger on the plane convinces the survivors they can rebuild the plane to fly out of the desert.

Unfortunately, this movie has often been overlooked in regards to Jimmy Stewart's other movies. This movie, however, should rank on many top 10 lists. Good acting, well-written, and beautifully filmed, I would highly recommend this movie if you see it in the video store.
