Angel Flight Down

A medical emergency aircraft crashes in the snowy Rockies. The pilot, two paramedics, a two-year-old patient, and her father all manage to survive the crash. Unfortunately, the little girl's already critical condition is rapidly worsening, her father is growing hysterical by the minute, the pilot is seriously injured, and the paramedics aren't sure if they are emotionally equipped for the crisis.

Directed by Charles Wilkinson, Angel Flight Down leans on a strong ensemble — Patricia Kalember, David Charvet, Garwin Sanford — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1996.
