The Fast and the Fierce

2017 · 87 min

A cheap, tense little airborne thriller that plays like a low-rent disaster movie, more silly than scary.

Directed by: Ron Thornton

Tagline: It's gonna be a bumpy ride!
Overview: When terrorists plant a bomb on a commercial flight, the passengers aboard the plane must fight to keep the plane in the air and all the passengers alive: the bomb is rigged to detonate whenever the plane dips below 500 feet.
