A bomb on board an airliner has an altitude-sensitive trigger. Unless a ransom is paid, it will explode when the plane descends to land.

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

51 years since it was made and very current. And well done. In fact, any film with Lalo Schifrin's music deserves a view. Schifrin is a living legend, has signed a lot of masterpieces such as "Mission: Impossible" (1966-1973), "Mannix" (1967-1975), "Dirty Harry" (1971), "Magnum Force"(1973), "Charley Varrick"(1973), "Joe Kid"(1972), "THX 1138"(1971), "Kelly's Heroes" (1968), "Once a Thief "(1965), "The Cincinnati Kid"(1965), "Cool Hand Luke"(1967), "Coogan's Bluff"(1968), etc. etc., 212 credits in 2018. William A. Graham was a very good and prolific director, an action and suspense films specialist. The cast includes many great actors: Edmond O'Brien, very good in the role of the bomb maker who place it where nobody not even think it can be, Van Johnson, as the captain of the plane, Edward Asner, John Saxon, Jack Lord, Michael Sarrazin, etc.

I remember watching NBC's tailored-for-television movie The Doomsday Flight about four years after it first aired in 1966, and it was fun to see all those performers who were big in 1970, from Jack Lord to Ed Asner to Michael Sarrazin. The movie is one gigantic airliner of clichés, sweaty upper lips, and the great Edmond O'Brien as a mad-as-a-Trump-supporter disgruntled bomber chewing the scenery behind glasses with lenses so thick his eyes look segmented (think Muddy the Mudskipper from Ren and Stimpy). As a 12 year old, O'Brien scared the airline peanuts out of me, and I still loved watching him a few hours ago as he snarled and whined and goobered and then vapor-locked right in front of another great character actor, Malachi Throne.Yup, old-home night on YouTube.And one last thing. There was Greg Morris (Mission Impossible) as a FBI agent. Did they shoot this before he became a regular on MI? Now, looking for an answer to that would be a great use of the internet!Along with watching ancient TV-movies, huh?

One of the best made for TV films with a an incredible cast! Especially interesting to see Jack Lord as an F.B.I. agent (in essence he is playing a character similar to Steve McGarrett, 2 years before Hawaii Five-0!)& kudos for Edmond O'Brien's chilling performance. This film which was written by Rod Serling (written in between Seven Days in May & Planet of the Apes) was not seen for many years due to a real life incident that copied the plot of the film. This would make a nice double feature with Fate Is the Hunter.

Doomsday Flight, written by the master dramatist Rod Serling, is one of the three best movies ever made involving an airplane flight (Fate is the Hunter and Airport are the others). Very well acted by a non-big name cast including lots of familiar faces.
