About Absturz in die Todeszone
The airline "Dream Air" is on the verge of bankruptcy - as the flight of another airline is overbooked, the airline is naturally happy to help out the competition and so the experienced pilot Hans Krüger takes off with the young co-pilot Conny Neudorff - despite warnings from the mechanics.
Directed by Uwe Frießner, Absturz in die Todeszone leans on a strong ensemble — Jürgen Lehmann, Isabella Parkinson, André Hennicke — 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 screen titles of 2001.
