Turbulent Skies
When a new airplane that's equipped with a new computer that can fly the plane on its own, is about to have its first flight. But the son of the owner decides to upload more software, he doesn't bother to check if there are any viruses with it. And he also invites some potential investors to try it. So the plane appears to be working well but suddenly it veers off course and it can't be shut down. When the military learns of this and fears what if something happens if it's over a populated area; decides to shoot it down along with everyone on board. The man who built the computer whose wife is among the passengers thinks if he can get on board he might be able to shut it down and regain control of the plane. So the military using a new plane gets him on board. But what he didn't know is that both pilots are incapacitated so there's no one who can fly the plane.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Without taking anything from the plot, there is to mention, that some inaccuracies appear in this film: - In the beginning (the first plane appearing with the elderly captain) has the landing gear extended during the flight at 25.000 feet altitude. This is highly unrealistic, as the gear would not stand such a force. Normally landing gear is retracted immediately after getting airborne. - Lightning cannot affect the pilot's activity in the cockpit. The plane builds a "Faraday's Cage" meaning that lightning, when hitting the plane, gets diverted in different directions along the fuselage, causing no impact to people inside the plane. - the captains decision to shut down the burning engine in the first chapter of the film was not wrong, so it cannot been taken as an argument for an automated pilot. Having said this, the captains behavior is quite indecisive for an experienced pilot, he appears rather senile.
Don't waste your time watching this terrible movie. It is so fake and ridiculous it hurts to watch. That stealth plane connected to that thing effortlessly like they do it every day but yet the guy hand him a rebreather at the last second as if they wouldn't have been already highly prepared. The guy going on the plane never asked before hand like how the hell am I going to breathe? Then the guy just jams stripped wires into a hole all twisted together as if that would ever fix anything . Sorry this move is just terrible.
The use of the SR-71 Blackbird in this film itself is laughable. Any fan worth their salt will call BS on this one. It takes time to plan a mission for that beast, logistics, route planning, refuel points, getting the craft prepped, getting the KC-135Q tankers ready, ensuring the backup craft is also prepped, and the list goes on.. Hollywood got this one wrong where the SR-71 Blackbird is concerned. They chopped the footage and added in an actor in a standard flight suit WRONG. Didn't even bother to edit the footage to remove the original pilots left hand, in the pressure suit, running up the throttles which is bright orange compared to the flat color of the flight suit the pilot was wearing. The original cockpit audio was completely scrubbed, which would have fit the movie much better than the junk chatter the tossed in there. Since when does the SR-71 carry passengers?? They would have us believe that they are going to carry two people in the central bay of it, it doesn't have one. That area is a fuel cell, not to mention it's not pressurized and subject to all manner of stresses. Supposedly this was to be flown to catch up with and dock to a commercial passenger aircraft to transfer people, seriously? Utterly laughable.. It was so bad I turned it off.They used the majority of footage from the following video. https://youtu.be/hZIGKwhQ8dwIf the link does not work, search YouTube for Blackbird101, and locate his video SR-71 Blackbird Launch. This contains all the scenes from the movie in full along with the original cockpit audio.The engine ignition sequence, hangar rollout and marshaling, taxi to runway, takeoff and climb to altitude. Whoever made this needs to learn how to research something before making it public.
The maiden flight of a computer flown 747 goes wrong because of a computer glitch inserted accidentally by the son of the owner, causing the plane to veer off course into an electrical storm where it is naturally hit. With the two standby pilots either dead or incapacitated the task of saving the plane from being shot down by the military, the original inventor of the device is forced to enter the plane via an untried process from another plane (previously used in the film Executive Decision) and bypass the computer.The actualities of this film are poorly researched. the acting is very wooden and the plot is so transparent as to be invisible.
