These two guys then force their way up to the cockpit to tell them they have traveled back to 1940 and are positioned over France. Two passengers are apparently history professors traveling to some conference, they see the planes and get all excited, consulting books and binders. Planes are bombing a city and dogfights are taking place all around. They come under the clouds, and they find themselves in the middle of a battle. There are a few minutes of back and forth and then Strong makes the decision to dip below cloud cover in order to try and get a bearing. A more comically idiotic thing for a pilot to say I can’t think of, but then again, there is still lots of time left in this movie. Captain Strong gets on the intercom and informs the passengers that they have cleared the storm, and oh, you might have noticed the sun is suddenly gone now, that can happen sometimes when passing through the tip of the Bermuda Triangle. The copilot says the sun shouldn’t have set for another 40 minutes. The plane makes it through the “storm.” In the cockpit, all instruments have gone dead except for the radar. The safest part of a vortex is the middle. At this moment I experienced a terrible fear that this movie will be The Langoliers. Instead Strong decides flying into the vortex is the best idea. Ground control recommends flying around, but I guess that isn’t Strong’s style (ground control probably hates him almost as much as they hate Major “I love radio silence” Tom). The plane begins to experience turbulence, and the people on the ground warn the pilots of a sudden storm materializing out of nowhere. Props to the movie, three minutes in and it brings us directly to a little thing I like to call, the inciting incident. Best case scenario, the plane arrives over London and is shot down by flak cannons immediately. This movie is called Flight World War 2, so I’m guessing somehow it is going to end up in the past. And of course there are some passengers and a flight crew, will they be relevant later? I hope not. This airline wins the award for least imaginative fake airline name to ever appear in a movie. They are flying International Airlines flight 42 from Washington D.C. Strong’s copilot is Daniel Prentice (Matias Ponce). ![]() What you won’t remember him from is Flight World War 2. You might remember Tahir from such blockbusters as Iron-Man and Star Trek (2009) and such TV shows as Once Upon a Time and 12 Monkeys. ![]() This movie opens with the flight already in progress. That jacket cover makes a couple of bold assertions, and I fully expect it to live up to them. The greatest battle that never happened! Based on true events! After Flight 42 travels through a storm they find themselves in France, 1940, during World war II.
