LANDING SPOT SATURDAY MOVIE - TONIGHT'S FEATURE: THE LANGOLIERS (1995)
Sorry for the delay - I was out this evening... an encore presentation...
THE LANGOLIERS is a horror miniseries consisting of two episodes of 1½ hours each. It was directed and written by Tom Holland and based on the novella by Stephen King from the four-part anthology book Four past Midnight. The series was produced by Mitchell Galin and David R. Kappes.
During a red-eye flight of a Lockheed L-1011 from Los Angeles International Airport to Boston Logan International Airport, the plane flies through a strange light, and most of the passengers and flight crew disappear, leaving behind only personal artifacts. Only those passengers who were asleep remain, and discover the predicament when they wake. Pilot Brian Engle, deadheading on the flight, takes the controls; unable to contact any other airport, he decides to land the plane at Bangor International Airport because of its long runway.
