A deadly plane crash. A hopeless desert. One impossible plan for survival. But which version of The Flight of the Phoenix rises above the rest?

In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we venture into the heart of the desert to compare the survival classic The Flight of the Phoenix, starring James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, and Hardy Krüger, with the modern remake Flight of the Phoenix, starring Dennis Quaid and Giovanni Ribisi.

After a catastrophic plane crash leaves a small group of survivors stranded in one of the world's harshest environments, tensions rise as food, water, and hope begin to run out. With rescue looking increasingly unlikely, one engineer proposes an extraordinary solution: build a new aircraft from the wreckage of the old one.

Mart and Trev break down the survival story, the unforgettable characters, the engineering behind the Phoenix, the production stories, and the biggest differences between the two films, exploring whether the remake successfully modernises the classic or whether the original still delivers the most compelling tale of determination against impossible odds.

We'll also look at the fascinating behind-the-scenes history, the real aviation inspiration behind the story, and how each film reflects the era in which it was made.

Does the 1965 original still soar above the competition…
or does the 2004 remake take flight?

When survival is the only destination… there's only one way out.
