Flight Risk

Well acted tale of a prisoner transport flight from interior Alaska to Anchorage. In flight multiple issues occur, causing the prisoner to be wounded and the pilot to become out of Commission. The transporting Federal Agent assumes control of the plane, contacting Anchorage for flight assistance. In the meantime, the Pilot proves to be the enemy, and is secured to the planes infrastructure. They ultimately arrive in Anchorage, where strong cross winds challenge their landing. The plane is a crumpled mess but the prisoner is handed off to an ambulance crew, where he is nearly smothered. A really good movie. Well acted & directed.
