The 2000 film Nowhere to Land is about a pilot who must safely land a 747 with deadly nerve gas aboard on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. The plane is two hours from land when early reports suggest that a biochemical device hidden onboard the plane is timed to detonate within the hour.
The pilot, Captain John Prescott, is a veteran who has seen it all. But this is different. He knows that if he doesn't land the plane safely, everyone on board will die.
Prescott and his crew work frantically to find a way to land the plane safely. They try to contact the authorities on the ground, but they are unable to get a clear signal. They also try to disarm the nerve gas device, but are unsuccessful.
As the plane gets closer to land, Prescott knows that he must make a decision. He can either try to land the plane at a nearby airport, which would risk killing everyone on board if the nerve gas device detonates. Or he can try to land the plane in a remote area, which would be less risky but would also be more difficult.
In the end, Prescott decides to land the plane in a remote area. He knows that it is the only way to save the lives of the people on board.
The film is a suspenseful thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. It is also a thought-provoking film that explores the themes of duty, courage, and sacrifice.
The film was directed by Armand Mastroianni and stars Jack Wagner, Kim Delaney, and George Eller. It was released on March 12, 2000.
