Synopsis
Le capitaine Liu Chuanjian (Zhang Hanyu) se prépare pour un vol de routine de Chongqing à Lhassa avec ses deux co-pilotes, Xu Ruichen (Oho Ou ) et Liang Peng (Du Jiang) ainsi que les hôtesses de l'air supervisées par Bi Nan (Yuan Quan ). L'appareil, un Airbus A319, semble n'avoir aucune irrégularité. Quarante minutes après le décollage, à 32 000 pieds d'altitude, le pare-brise éclate, aspirant l'un des copilotes dehors. L'avion se dépressurise et sa communication radio devient inopérante. Pour aggraver les choses, l'avion est coupé du site d'atterrissage d'urgence le plus proche situé sur le plateau tibétain par une tempête. Le capitaine Liu Chuanjian et son équipage sont les seuls espoirs de survie des 119 passagers.

The plane stalls and they are forced to eject, narrowly missing a B-50 Superfortress piloted by navigator "Tank" Sullivan (James Garner) as they parachute to safety. On the ground, Frank punches Hawk for putting their lives at risk, but their fight is broken up by engineer Jerry O'Neill (Donald Sutherland). Their supervising officer, Bob Gerson (James Cromwell), chastises Hawk for his recklessness, before taking them to a press conference, where it is announced that the Air Force will no longer be involved in space flight tests as this has now been handed off to the newly created NASA, ending the four's dreams of reaching space.

(Tyrese Gibson) are sent to shut down the operation and transport the crew (Ian, Kelly, Rodney, Davis, Liddle, Jeremy, Sammi, Rady, Kyle, Newman, and Dr. Gerber) out of the desert. However, en route to Beijing, a major dust storm disables one engine, forcing them to crash land their C-119 Flying Boxcar in an uncharted area of the Gobi Desert. Kyle falls to his death and the crash kills Dr. Gerber and Newman. Their cargo consists of used parts and tools from the rig, the rig's crew, and Elliot (Giovanni Ribisi), a hitchhiker. When the dust storm ends, it becomes apparent that they are 200 miles off course with only a month's supply of water. Jeremy (Kirk Jones), thinks about walking to get help, but Rady (Kevork Malikyan) explains that July is the hottest in the Gobi, and that he won't make it.
