On a Wing and a Prayer 2023

I remember when this happened and being very intrigued by the story. This movie is decent for what it is, a retelling of that story. Poor Dennis Quaid has been phoning in his acting roles for quite some time now, so don't expect a great performance by him or any of the cast. Heather Graham just really has no acting chops at all.

So, yes, the acting is not great, but the overall movie is worth 90 minutes of your time.

The acting was awful. This looked like a cheap made for tv movie.

No one recognizes a good movie anymore and this is a good movie about family and faith and how we lean on those in a crisis. It's based on a true story which makes it that much more amazing. Dennis Quaid delivers as a devout family man who is put in an impossible situation. He is a good actor and one who has improved over the years and he is great in this role. Heather Graham is his incredibly hot sweet wife and she does well although it seems like her prayers are a bit stilted. All the smaller roles are well played and make it clear these are based on real people.

I love this film's commitment to tell the real story and it's well done. I promise you'll be on the edge of your seat as you watch a family in the crucible. It's a great family film, something you can watch with your children and it's refreshing to see faith played out in the lives of real people.

Felt like a gcses lvl movie in all areas.
I gave 1 star because I felt bad :/

Interesting story, based on a real-life event. The execution however is terrible and most of the acting is really, really bad…

The ATC controller Dan is the only credible performance in this horrendous movie. There are literally dozens of references to god and inspirational speeches. There’s two annoying kids watching it from the ground, for no obvious reason. Plus a funeral (unrelated) and a random BBQ..
