Der letzte Flug zurück

Message Good Movie Bad cleaned up "Tears of the Sun" try being original

Last Flight Out is piloted by Richard Tyson who is a cynic in matters of religion. He's a washed up pilot taking odd charter flights when he can find them and he's working South America now. His latest charter is medical supplies for Dr. Bobbie Phillips mission deep in the Colombian jungle and Dr. Adriano Gonzalez is hitching a ride back to the mission.

There's a drug overlord operating there played by Rene Moreno who wants all the ablebodied working for him cultivating the plants that make him rich. The Christian mission interferes with those plans, but he'd sure like to have that plane and the pilot that goes with it.

What to do but evacuate the village. The mission has a lot of factors going against it but prayer insures God will provide which he does, but not without cost.

This is a Christian movie so certain parameters are expected. You don't have to be a fundamentalist Christian to appreciate that people should not be enslaved. The performers are sincere.

You'll be judging this film by the strength of whatever religious convictions you might have.

This movie deeply touched me, not only because of the fact that I previously lived for many years in South America, but most importantly because it carries a very important message and is well made.

PROS

+ Wonderful testimony of restoration and redemption. THEOS can even restore the worst criminals who steal millions of dollars and use those criminals for his purposes. It is also a beautiful testimony of the suffering He sometimes allows, but that He never leaves us nor forsakes us.

+ Great action, without harmful violence through the Christians in the movie. Dan's actions could be seen as overly violent, but he soon after repented of his sins and experienced salvation.

NEUTRAL

• Some would qualify his prayer as the 'Sinner's Prayer' which could be insufficient for Past Salvation, but to make this prayer in an airplane is certainly valid, and we can assume that he would have been baptized soon after.

CONS

• I would not have reviewed this movie if I would have known beforehand that it was financed by the Billy Graham foundation. But thankfully the movie itself does not contain any questionable elements nor does it endorse the Catholic Church of Graham, therefore I endorse this movie as per exception. The movie can be watched for free at TubiTV.

Last Flight Out is an interesting film. It is set in South America in an area controlled not by a government, but by a minor warlord. A single American missionary doctor has remained to help the needy. Her old romantic interest flies in to bring her out, but she doesn't want to go. Lots of other sub-plots, but that's typical for this sort of adventure film. This is a World Wide Pictures (Billy Graham) film, so there is a Christian sub-plot; her old romance (the pilot) is a tough yet nice guy, but he isn't a Christian. I won't spoil the picture for you, but this is a picture designed to make you contemplate why you are doing what you are doing. It's a good film.

I loved this movie so much as a kid, and that's the biggest reason why I gave it a higher rating. The movie does a great job with showing the life of a missionary and delivering a very clear gospel message that hits the heartstrings.

From normal movie standards, It's not very well filmed. It's not very well acted. The lines are a bit cringe in some areas. The people sound like they're saying lines. But the story is good. It's a great movie for the whole family. It's really enjoyable film if you're a christian. It's wholesome, clean and shows the life of a missionary. And it might have you in tears by the end.

Solid Christian movie. With a solid gospel message.
