The movie is loosely based on the novel "Orbit" by Thomas H. Block, from 1982. In the novel, a hypersonic plane on a cruise from New York City to Sydney exceeds its cruise altitude, due to sabotage by a revenge-seeking company engineer.
This was Jocelyn Brando's final acting role before her death on November 27, 2005, at the age of eighty-six.
The logo for the Starflight airline bears a strong resemblance to that of Rockwell International, the company that constructed the Space Shuttle orbiters. The movie was released in 1983, two years after the first orbital shuttle mission.
Released theatrically in the UK and several other countries by Orion Pictures.
Although it is not affiliated with Universal's highly successful Airport franchise, this film is sometimes referred to as Airport 1985.
"Joe Pedowski: You're gonna try to fly this thing back? Captain Cody Briggs: Joe, did you ever skip a flat rock across a lake and watch it skim and bounce along the surface? I wanna give reentry that kind of shot. Joe Pedowski: I have skipped a few rocks on a few lakes in my time and I never saw yet one that didn't sink. It's one chance in a million. Captain Cody Briggs: So was this accident. Joe Pedowski: I am scared out of my mind being up here inside this plane and you want me to go outside? [laughs nervously] Joe Pedowski: oh no! [pause] Joe Pedowski: I'll need a wire stripper and some wire nuts... and a dry pair of pants when I get back. Joe Pedowski: cannot unselect the speaker."
