About Flight 90: Disaster on the Potomac
Flight 90: Disaster on the Potomac is a true story based on the crash of Air Florida flight 90 on January 13, 1982 in Washington D.C. This movie follows the main players throughout the day, with a lot of care taken to re-create what actually went wrong, who died, and who survived. There is a lot of actual footage from the day, as well as accurate representations of aircraft type and airline.
Directed by Robert Michael Lewis, Flight 90: Disaster on the Potomac leans on a strong ensemble — Barry Corbin, Jeannetta Arnette, Stephen Macht — 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 1984.
