Short description
After surviving a plane crash that kills many others, Max Klein develops a sense of invulnerability, leading to radical, compulsive actions. Can a psychologist and a fellow guilt-ridden survivor bring him down to earth?
What's left behind the scenes
- To get into the role of the protagonist who had survived a catastrophe, Jeff Bridges spent a lot of time talking to his friend Gary Busey, who had been in a motorcycle accident shortly before filming and had been in a coma for several days.
- The film's director, Peter Weir, suffered from a fear of flying before filming the movie.
- The airplane crash site was recreated on a field in central California, precisely replicating the Iowa crash site from 1989. Initially, the field was planted with corn, then plowed up by a bulldozer, and a trench was created to simulate the one left by the fallen aircraft. 140 extras and 40 members of the Kern County Fire Department participated in filming the scene. One of the main roads nearby was closed for a week, and the local power company was persuaded to take down several poles and tangle the wires to create the illusion of complete devastation. Preparing the crash site took 10 days, and 600 suitcases with all their contents were scattered haphazardly around it (all of which was specially purchased from local thrift stores). Overall, recreating the crash site cost $2 million.
- The scene with the flight attendant instructing Rosie Perez’s character to take the baby because it was required by regulations, and the baby dies, describes a real event that occurred on board the crashed plane. A flight attendant instructed one passenger to put the baby on the floor next to her (which at that time was standard procedure according to safety regulations). The baby rolled somewhere under the seats and died. The passenger blamed the flight attendant for this, and she spent the rest of her days fighting to change safety regulations and draw public attention to the problem of flight safety.
- The film partially recreates events that occurred in 1989 in Iowa with United Airlines flight 232. However, unlike the film, the actual crash involved a DC-10, not a Boeing.
- To get into the character of the protagonist who survived a catastrophe, Jeff Bridges spent a lot of time talking with his friend Gary Busey, who had been in a motorcycle accident shortly before filming and had spent several days in a coma.
- The film's director, Peter Weir, suffered from a fear of flying before the movie was filmed.
- The episode involving the flight attendant who tells Rosie Perez's character to hold the baby because it is the rule, resulting in the baby's death, describes an actual event that occurred on a crashed aircraft. In that instance, a flight attendant told a passenger to place the baby on the floor beside her (which was standard procedure according to safety regulations at the time). The infant rolled away under the seats and died. The passenger blamed the flight attendant entirely, and the attendant spent the rest of her days fighting to change safety regulations and bringing public attention to the issue of aviation safety.
