The fictional story of the first "hypersonic" commercial passenger plane, which can make the flight from New York to London in a mere four hours. On the maiden flight of this plane, a minor disaster occurs resulting in the plane actually leaving the Earth's atmosphere and orbiting around the globe. A lack of heat-resistant tiling prevents the plane from simply re-entering the atmosphere... (imdb)

Most of the suspense centers around who can grow a beard faster, Lee Majors or Hal Linden. Surprisingly, Lauren Hutton ends up winning.

Lee Majors manages everything... It's highly illogical and employs every stereotype there is, even after "Airplane". Highly amusing to watch when you don't expect too much. From a technical standpoint it's utter nonsense.
