Das Concorde Inferno (1979)
Mit einer Testcrew an Bord hebt eine Concorde-Maschine von London mit Ziel Caracas ab. In einer schwindelerregenden Höhe von 20 000 Metern über der Karibik kommt es plötzlich zu Turbulenzen und sämtliche Funkverbindungen brechen zusammen. Das Flugzeug kann seine Höhe nicht halten und stürzt mitten ins Meer. Einzige Überlebende ist eine Stewardess (Mimsy Farmer), welche zwar aus den Trümmern gerettet, jedoch anschließend auf einer Yacht gefangen gehalten wird. Als Ursache des Absturzes stellt sich der Sabotageakt eines Großkonzerns heraus, welcher die Concorde vom Flugzeugmarkt verdrängen will. Als eine weitere Concorde-Maschine, diesmal mit Passagieren an Bord, denselben Kurs nimmt, kommt es erneut zu Schwierigkeiten. Gelingt es dem Piloten, das Vertrauen in das Überschallflugzeug wieder herzustellen und die Maschine vor dem Absturz zu bewahren?
