Aidan Quinn, Charles S. Dutton, Dean Cain, Kelly
Hu and Gail O'Grady star in MAYDAY, a new
television movie, based on the New York Times
bestseller by Nelson DeMille and Thomas Block.
In the new thriller, which has completed
production in Toronto, chaos and death engulf an
airliner traveling from the United States to
Tokyo when it is accidentally hit by a U.S. Navy
test missile.
Weekend pilot John Berry (Quinn) is on board
Pacific Global Flight #52 when it is
accidentally struck by a stray military missile,
ripping two huge holes in the side of the
airplane. Moments after the violent collision,
Berry realizes that the plane is still airborne,
but most of its passengers are dead. As he and
senior flight attendant Sharon Crandall (Hu),
survey the wreckage on board, they realize that,
though he has limited flying experience, Berry
will have to pilot the jumbo airliner to a safe
landing.
Commander James Slan (Cain) and Admiral Randolph
Hennings (Dutton) are in charge of the covert
military missile testing exercise and are
responsible for the stray missile that hit the
airliner. With the threat of their covert
mission being exposed, the two men must figure
out how to keep this incident concealed from the
public. With hundreds of lives at stake, Anne
Metz (O'Grady) is responsible for assessing the
enormous insurance claims that Pacific Global
faces, which in all likelihood will cause the
company to shut down. |
