If you loved Vera Cruz, try The Flight of the Phoenix
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Robert Aldrich. If that's the register that drew you to Vera Cruz, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Flight of the Phoenix is
Blazing Sun meets Swiss Family Robinson. A cargo plane crashes in the Sahara leaving a handful of survivors with dwindling supplies. One engineer turns wreckage into wings to build an escape craft before thirst claims them all. A castaway’s ingenuity beats a dying horizon.
