Hi, I wonder if anyone can help? I started to watch a film on Sci-Fi about a year ago but never got to watch it all. The film is about a group of people who wake up on a plane to find that everyone else, including the pilots have gone but people glasses and pacemakers are still on the seats where the passengers were sitting. They manage to land the plane but find that there is no trace of life in the airport, it was quite spooky! Does anybody know the name? I'd like to rent it out!
Thanks!

the film is called "THE LANGOLIERS"
It was directed by Tom Holland and starred Dean Stockwell and Patricia Wettig.
and the teleplay was written by Tom Holland and based on a novel by Stephen King.
When a plane passes through a mysterious time warp, all but a few onboard vanish. The survivors manage to land, and discover that time seems to stand still--and the mysterious Langoliers are in hot pursuit. The Langoliers' job is to erase moments in time that have already passed into history. The survivors still exist because they were asleep when the plane passed through the warp, and they determine that if they can all be asleep once again when the plane returns, they will survive. However, one passenger must remain awake--and doomed to die--to pilot the plane on its return through the warp...

Yeah, it's the Langoliers. Originally based on a Stephen King book. Like a lot of King's books that get made into movies, this one suffers a bit. I have to admit, the ending is pretty dumb. But get it out, it's worth one viewing.

It is "The Langoliers" but directed by Tom Holland and written by Stephan King and Tom Holland, not by Spielberg.
Below is the trailer for it to jog your memory and to check if it is the one you mean.

Try the link provided below. There are a lot of movies with similar plots. You need to narrow it down i.e. American or Foreign, etc... The link below lists all the movies with similar plots to the one you had described. Good luck!
