What is Flight of the Phoenix about? Toggle content

In the vast Gobi Desert of Mongolia, cargo plane pilot Frank Towns and his co-pilot AJ are on a mission to evacuate the staff of an oil exploration operation that has been shut down. As they fly over the desert, a sudden sandstorm strikes, damaging their plane and forcing them to crash-land in the middle of nowhere. With limited supplies and no hope of rescue, the survivors must work together to rebuild their plane and escape the harsh desert environment. But tensions rise and accusations fly as they struggle to survive, and they must confront the impossible task of building a new plane from the wreckage. With their only chance of escape slipping away, they must put aside their differences and work together to overcome insurmountable odds. Will they be able to overcome their challenges and take flight once again?
