The film opens in with a title sequence showing a radar screen with air traffic controllers talking in the background. American Airlines Flight 117 appears on the radar screen, and the air traffic controllers instruct the aircraft to make an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport. The flight responds by saying that it is unable to maintain altitude, and begins an emergency descent. Meanwhile, a man is driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee down a mysteriously empty stretch of I-405 as it is shut down due to an investigation. Soon, AA Flight 117 appears on-screen, revealing Flight 117 to be an American Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-10. Soon, the DC-10 makes an emergency landing onto I-405. During touchdown, the plane's nose gear collapses, and the fuselage is dropped onto the Jeep's roof and pushing the Jeep to a much higher speed until both vehicles finally stop. In the process of slowing down, the plane and the man's car narrowly miss an elderly woman driving slowly in her car, though she is oblivious to this fact and extends the middle finger as she cruises past. The film ends with police cars, ambulances, fire engines and other emergency vehicles along with hovering news and police helicopters surrounding the scene.Origin USAGenres Drama,
