Disgraced airline pilot Hogan (Eric Roberts) is emotionally wounded after a crash landing a year earlier. Depressed as he is, he agrees to be the co-pilot for a transatlantic flight from London to the U.S. that otherwise would be cancelled because the actual co-pilot called in sick. Among the passengers on board the plane is a obnoxious wealthy executive, a celebrated athlete, a newlywed couple, an arrogant pilot, a murderer being transported for trial, and the lovely flight attendant, who is Hogan's old girlfriend (Alexandra Paul). Shortly after takeoff the cargo door blows off, rendering the pilot unconscious and Hogan has to pilot the uncontrollable plane to safety through a thunderstorm. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide

For a bomb of a B-movie, Rough Air has quite a nice DVD presentation. The mastering is superb, with vivid colors and firm edges (although the saturation is a bit thick at times). The Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound is a bonus for a movie that normally would be lucky to get a 2.0 treatment. The full-motion menus are impressive and the filmographies, trailers, and Spanish subtitles are nicely done. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide
