The Langoliers

The Langoliers follows the story of passengers who succumb to nothingness in mid-flight. Sure, we literally see nothing when you’re 37,000 feet up in the air but in this made-for-TV movie, passengers of the plane discovered that they’re actually traveling in oblivion. In this Stephen King thriller starring a very capable David Morse, the passengers on the plane discovered that they were left behind by time. They landed at an airport (in this case, Bangor International in Maine , in ode to Stephen King’s hometown) to discuss among themselves on how to address their situation. While discussing, time-driven creatures called the langoliers literally ate everything in their path, including the airport pavement. In the nick of time, the plane crew and passengers discovered a way to squirm themselves out of the time black hole.
