Not to be mistaken for the classic Twilight Zone episode- Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, as I actually did.
Plot: Boarding a rather weighty aircraft, the passengers of flight 19X include a doctor (Paul Winfield- Star Trek II- Wrath of Khan), a former priest (William Shatner), a western movie star, a druid worshipper, an architect and his wife. Before the flight even takes off, the cabin temperature changes and the plane becomes a freezing. As the flight continues we discover that in the cargo hold, the remnants of an ancestral home, specifically it's sacrificial alter reside and there's something that desperately wants to get out on this, the summer solstice.
Budget: $? Made for the CBS network.
It certainly could have been worse, though Shatner himself sees few ways. His death scene is superb and the not excessive, 73 minute running time is worth the effort.
Fun Fact: Many of the sound effects were borrowed from Forbidden Planet. There are also some excellent 70's flight attendant uniforms.
