When a commercial jet collides with a smaller plane, it causes the airliner's elevators to jam into the full climb position.

With time running out, it's up to the plane's pilot, Captain Glen "Lucky" Singer (Urich), his co-pilot Connie Phipps (O'Toole), Captain George Bouchard (de Lancie), the airline company, the air traffic controllers below, and others to prevent a catastrophe.
