Three rescue pilots (Yul Brynner, George Chakiris, Richard Widmark) must overcome their fears, differences and hatreds as they undertake the dangerous rescue of raft-bound Japanese on storm-tossed seas. Review: A very interesting action packed movie... - I think that the wait was well worth it. Any movie including Yul Brynner should be considered a must. But there are still some missing, just like "The Brothers Karamazov" and "Once More with Feeling" (the original one, filmed in the early sixties, also starring Kay Kendall). This is no exception to the rule and although a bit on the silly side of Hollywoodiana, still it has its moments and is well worth watching. It is an unpretentious adventure movie set somewhere in Africa and is more a vehicle to advertise for the Air Rescue Service than anything else. This was a typical procedure that lasted almost thirty years. Making movies about Governmental Agencies, with the help of those directly involved. This usually helped finance such movies and guaranteed full cooperation of such authorities. Unfortunately, at the same time, movie crews had to submit to some of the requirements that these authorities demanded. So, all in all, as said, this is not a bad movie, just a bit biased. Yet, this said, who could pass on an occasion to watch Yul Brynner, Richard Widmark and George Chakiris in action? The DVD is plainly just filled with the movie itself. No extras here, just in case you were looking for some. The picture though is in Widescreen, pristine and clean (no restoring here, but exceptionally good quality). The sound is plain Dolby Digital Mono, although on my system I have it on two stereo channels and not just out in the Center channel. Quality of this is also exceptionally clear and well-rounded. By well-rounded, I mean full sound, not that kind of "tinny" Mono sound one is usually receiving out of purely Mono tracks in his speakers. If you like adventure movies, then this one is for you. Enjoy it as such, not expecting too much out of it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Review: GREAT movie , good quality picture - I've loved this movie for years, but could never find the DVD until now. The picture /color /audio are all really good and I am SO happy that so many of these older but really great films are being remastered and made available. All three of the stories within the movie are great, but of course Yul Brynner's is the most moving of the three. If you like really good plots and great acting this movie will not disappoint. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | George Chakiris, Harold Hecht, Michael Anderson, Richard Widmark, Screenplay By Elliott Arnold And Waldo Salt, Shirley Knight, Suzy Parker, Yul Brynner Contributor George Chakiris, Harold Hecht, Michael Anderson, Richard Widmark, Screenplay By Elliott Arnold And Waldo Salt, Shirley Knight, Suzy Parker, Yul Brynner See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 92 Reviews | | Format | NTSC | | Genre | Action & Adventure | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 40 minutes | ## Images ![Flight From Ashiya - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712AfNdKnqL.jpg) ![Flight From Ashiya - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31UFD0jPVcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very interesting action packed movie... *by P***Y on April 21, 2011* I think that the wait was well worth it.
