John Moore's re-make of the 1965 classic stars Dennis Quaid (pictured) as Captain Frank Towns, who crash-lands his plane in the Gobi desert with a mixed package of passengers and no hope of rescue.

Giovanni Ribisi plays Elliott, the enigmatic engineer who persuades the survivors they can scavenge enough from the crashed plane to build another to fly them to safety while the love interest is provided by Miranda Otto, as the tough yet vulnerable Kelly.

Superbly photographed by Brendan Galvin, this stands against the original, with the mix of characters providing the drama, and the take-off of the cobbled-together aircraft a nail-biting climax.
