Good story, Not enough for a whole film

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This was one of the "made for TV" films, of which many were fairly banal, but there were a few gems like "The Night Stalker" (which has been released on DVD along with "Birds of Prey"), and this film which deserves a DVD release.A somewhat dysfunctional family (dad is a Super Type-A, mom drinks, the son feels alienated) heads south in their family single-engine aircraft for a vacation in Mexico. Enroute, engine problems and weather force a landing in the middle of a desert, forcing them to come together for survival. In working towards repairing the plane and returning to the sky, they work through their problems, but then dad - the only licensed pilot - is seriously injured, and the son - who has some flying time logged - has to save the group. The resolution is most gratifying and a thrill to any pilot (yes, you'll have to see it to find out what happens).Good performances, and a plot that includes some survival tips, no less, rate this film worthy of release. I assume the rights to this, and many of the other made-for-TV films, are in limbo which may make getting them released tricky, but with proper marketing a "Movie of the Week" box set would probably be successful.
