Air Panic (2002)

In the baffling aftermath of a series of commercial plane crashes, the FAA scrambles to uncover the sinister thread tying these tragic incidents together. Amidst this chaos, Neil McCabe, a brilliant FAA systems analyst, suspects an eerie pattern. He unearths a chilling discovery - each doomed airliner was equipped with identical software. Met with skepticism from his superiors, Neil is driven by his haunting intuition, believing he can predict the next target. His race against time takes him to an airport, where he insists on conducting a system check before a suspicious flight takes off. In a heart-stopping twist, the plane begins to launch seemingly of its own volition, with Neil barely managing to scramble aboard. Once onboard, Neil finds himself in a nerve-wracking cat-and-mouse game with the mastermind behind the terror - a disgruntled computer genius. This shadowy figure, feeling exploited by the aviation industry, orchestrates this digital sabotage as a terrifying means of revenge. With his every move watched and analysed, Neil must outsmart this foe and avert another catastrophe. Simultaneously, on solid ground, Rudy, Neil's determined colleague, traces the criminals' electronic breadcrumbs, leading him to the machine at the heart of this terror. This revelation precipitates a pulse-pounding confrontation with the terrorists, turning this technological crisis into a ruthless fight for survival. "Air Panic" is a thrilling roller-coaster ride through a high-tech nightmare, where unexpected allies face unimaginable adversaries, and the line between man and machine is dangerously blurred.
