The Flight of the Phoenix is a 1965 American survival film drama starring James Stewart, produced and directed by Robert Aldrich,^[4] and based on the 1964 novel The Flight of the Phoenix by Elleston Trevor.

The story describes a small group of men struggling to survive their aircraft's emergency landing in the SaharaDesert, and stars Richard Attenborough, Peter Finch, Hardy Krüger and Ernest Borgnine. The ensemble cast includes Ian Bannen, Ronald Fraser, Christian Marquand, Dan Duryea and George Kennedy as other passengers on the aircraft.

Stunt pilot Paul Mantz was killed during the filming while landing the re-built 'Phoenix'. Though the film was a failure at the box office, it has since gained a large cult following. Kms activator office 2010 download.

Plot[edit]

Frank Towns (James Stewart) is the pilot of a twin-engine Fairchild C-82 Packet cargo plane flying from Jaghbub to Benghazi in Libya; Lew Moran (Richard Attenborough) is the navigator. Passengers include Capt. Harris (Peter Finch) and Sgt. Watson (Ronald Fraser) of the British Army; Dr. Renaud (Christian Marquand), a physician; Heinrich Dorfmann (Hardy Krüger), a Germanaeronautical engineer; and an oil company accountant named Standish (Dan Duryea). There are also several oil workers, including Trucker Cobb (Ernest Borgnine), a foreman suffering from mental fatigue; Ratbags Crow (Ian Bannen), a cocky Scot; Carlos (Alex Montoya) and his pet monkey; and Gabriel (Gabriele Tinti).

A sudden sandstorm disables the engines, forcing Towns to crash-land in the desert. As the aircraft careens to a stop, two workers are killed and Gabriel's leg is severely injured.

The radio is unusable, and the survivors are too far off course to be found by searchers. Aboard the plane is a large quantity of pitted dates but only enough water for ten to fifteen days if rationed. Captain Harris sets out to try and find an oasis. When Sgt. Watson feigns an injury to stay behind, Carlos volunteers, leaving his pet monkey with Crow. Harris and Towns refuse to allow the mentally unstable Cobb go along, but Cobb defiantly follows anyway and later dies of exposure in the desert. Days later, Harris returns to the crash site alone and barely alive. Sgt. Watson discovers and then ignores him, though others later find him.

Meanwhile, Dorfmann proposes a radical idea: building a new aircraft from the wreckage. The C-82 has twin booms extending rearwards from each engine and connected by the horizontal stabilizer. Dorfmann wants to attach the outer sections of both wings to the left engine and left boom, discarding the center fuselage and both inner wing sections of the aircraft. The men will ride atop the wings. Harris and Moran believe he is either joking or delusional. The argument is complicated by a personality clash between Towns, a proud traditionalist aviator, and Dorfmann, a young arrogant engineer. Moran struggles to maintain the peace.

Towns initially resists Dorfmann's plan, though Renaud sways his opinion, saying activity and hope will help sustain the men's morale. Dorfmann supervises the reconstruction, while Towns remains skeptical. During the work, the fatally injured Gabriele commits suicide, depressing the men to where they consider abandoning the new plane's construction. Dorfmann, caught exceeding his water ration, justifies it, saying he has been the only one working continuously. He promises to not do it again but demands everyone work equally hard from then on.

Standish christens the nearly-completed aircraft, 'Phoenix', after the mythical bird that is reborn from its own ashes. When a band of Arabs camp nearby, Harris and Renaud leave to make contact while the others (and the aircraft) remain hidden. The two men are found murdered the next day. Additionally, Towns and Moran are stunned to learn that Dorfmann designs model airplanes rather than full-sized aircraft. Dorfmann defends himself, claiming the aerodynamic principles are the same, and many model planes require more exacting designs than full-size aircraft. With no other choice, Towne and Moran forge ahead with the plan without telling the others about Dorfmann.

The Phoenix is completed but untested. Only seven starter cartridges are available to ignite the engine. The first four startup attempts are unsuccessful. Over Dorfmann's vehement objections, Towns fires the fifth cartridge with the ignition off to clear the engine's cylinders. The next startup is successful. The men pull the Phoenix to a nearby hilltop, then climb onto the wings. When Towns guns the engine, the Phoenix slides down the hill and over a lake bed before taking off. After a successful landing at an oasis with a manned oil rig, the men celebrate and Towns and Dorfmann are reconciled.

Production[edit]

Locations[edit]

Principal photography started April 26, 1965, at the 20th Century-Fox Studios and 20th Century-Fox Ranch, California. Other filming locations, simulating the desert, were Buttercup Valley, Arizona and Pilot Knob Mesa, California. The flying sequences were all filmed at Pilot Knob Mesa near Winterhaven, located in California's Imperial Valley, on the western fringes of Yuma, Arizona.

Aircraft used[edit]

Best Wings In Phoenix

In 2005, Hollywood aviation historian Simon Beck identified the aircraft used in the film:

• Fairchild C-82A Packet, N6887C – flying shots.
• Fairchild C-82A Packet, N4833V – outdoor location wreck.
• Fairchild C-82A Packet, N53228 – indoor studio wreck.
• Fairchild R4Q-1 Flying Boxcar (the USMC C-119C variant), BuNo. 126580 – non-flying Phoenix prop.
• Tallmantz Phoenix P-1, N93082 – flying Phoenix aircraft.
• North American O-47A, N4725V – second flying Phoenix.

The C-82As were from Steward-Davies Inc. at Long Beach, California, while the O-47A came from the Planes of Fame air museum in California. The R4Q-1 was purchased from Allied Aircraft of Phoenix, Arizona. The aerial camera platform was a B-25J Mitchell, N1042B, which was also used in the 1970 film Catch-22.

Although principal photography was completed on August 13, 1965, in order to complete filming, a North American O-47A (N4725V) from the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California was modified and used as a flying Phoenix stand-in. With the canopy removed, a set of skids attached to the main landing gear as well as ventral fin added to the tail, it sufficed as more-or-less a visual lookalike. Filming using the O-47A was completed in October/November 1965. It appears in the last flying scenes, painted to look like the earlier Phoenix P-1.

The final production used a mix of footage that included the O-47A, the 'cobbled-together' Phoenix and Phoenix P-1.

Death of Stunt Flyer Paul Mantz[edit]

The flying sequences were flown by famous racing/stunt/movie pilot and collector of warplanes Paul Mantz, co-owner of Tallmantz Aviation, filling in for his partner Frank Tallman, who had injured his leg.

On the morning of July 8th, Mantz was flying the Tallmantz Phoenix P-1, the machine that was 'made of the wreckage', performing touch-and-go landings for the cameras, when the fuselage buckled during a touchdown. The movie model broke apart and cartwheeled, killing Mantz and seriously injuring stuntman Bobby Rose.^[5]

The final credit on the screen was, 'It should be remembered.. that Paul Mantz, a fine man and a brilliant flyer, gave his life in the making of this film..'

Reception[edit]

The film opened in selected theaters on December 15, 1965, with a full release in 1966. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times dismissed it as 'grim and implausible',^[6] while Variety praised the film as an 'often-fascinating and superlative piece of filmmaking highlighted by standout performances and touches that show producer-director at his best.'^[7]

Trove Wings Of The Phoenix

Box Office[edit]

Aldrich says the film previewed well and everyone thought it was going to be a big hit but 'it never took off' commercially.^[8] According to Fox records, the film needed to earn $10,800,000 in rentals to break even, but suffered a loss after only making $4,855,000.^[9]

Awards[edit]

The Flight of the Phoenix was nominated for two Academy Awards: Ian Bannen for Supporting Actor and Michael Luciano for Film Editing.^[10]

Wings of the Phoenix Slot Machine

Theme-related symbols represented by the red-haired femme fatale, purple crystals and fiery bottles and lamps deliver high-value prizes whereas generic playing card symbols from 9s through As sit in the lower ends of the paytable.

The golden phoenix stands for Wild which shows up on all the reels to substitute for regular symbols and help you complete more winning combinations.

Scatter is depicted as the emerald pendant that transforms into a phoenix silhouette when triggering the feature and it cannot be replaced by Wild. Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters anywhere in view and you will activate 8, 15 or 30 free games. If another 3 or more Scatters hit the reels during the feature, you will retrigger it and win up to 30 free spins.

On each spin, the Mystery feature can be triggered at random to turn all low-value symbols into one of the high paying symbols. During the feature another set of reels is used and it can be randomly triggered during free games as well. The Mystery feature can cover the reels with symbols of a kind thus yielding huge payouts.

The most lucrative symbol is Wild and landing 5 of these along a payline will earn you 1,000 coins. Five red-haired female symbols pay 250 coins while five Scatters pay 250x your line bet. Thanks to symbols appearing in stacks on the reels, you can create multiple winning combinations at once easily. Besides, all high-value symbols along with Wilds pay when you land at least two matching symbols on a payline starting from the leftmost reel.

Wings of the Phoenix is a typical Konami game that went through the transition from a land-based slot machine to an online spinner and kept all its features. That simply means that its visuals are decent but still a bit dated when compared with the titles launched recently for online casinos. The golden-framed transparent reels are set against a purple backdrop which makes the fiery symbols look great. They undoubtedly serve well to the theme of the game.

There is no music playing in the background and the only sound you will hear will be the mechanical turning of the reels. This is a bit disappointing, but we believe that players who like playing slot machines at land-based casinos don't mind the lack of any melody. Once you activate the free spins feature, the energetic music score is introduced with Ode to Joy playing when a big win is hit.

You can easily tell that the biggest attraction of the game is the Mystery feature which can provide you with really large payouts. Go player pro download para pc. The good news is that it can be triggered during free games too. However, being an Xtra Reward, this feature increases the minimum stake, so instead of wagering 30 coins, you will have to pay at least 45 coins per spin. If you are a high-roller, the game allows you to wager up to 225 coins per spin. At the maximum bet level, the game pays as much as 150,000 coins in a single spin.

Although you are familiar with the symbolism of a phoenix, a bird that arises from ashes and appears in various mythologies, Wings of the Phoenix may strike you as a bit strange. This fantasy-themed slot is not the best Konami product, but it will definitely provide you with multiple opportunities to win. After all, it brags an RTP of 96.02%, which makes it worth your attention.
