Down on Earth the airline and NASA are working to find a way to bring the crew and passengers back safely. Engineer Josh Gilliam (Hal Linden) had voiced concerns before the flight and now he is spearheading the efforts.

What happens next is some of the worst special effects and physical performances ever seen. The actors mime floating in space, but their hair remains resolutely down. As the rescuers try plan after plan and the space shuttle crew achieve previously unheardof turnarounds, the subplots play out some very tired clichés.

The Airport franchise of movies had finished by the time this film was made, if not it might have killed it dead.

I have to admit this film fascinates me, I've watched it several times, I think I keep expecting it to get better, it never does.
