The Flight of the Phoenix is the title of a 1964 novel by Elleston Trevor, a 1965 movie, and its 2004 remake (as Flight of The Phoenix). The overall plot involves the crash of a plane (a C-82 Packet in the 1965 version and a C-119 Flying Boxcar in the remake) in the middle of a desert, due to a sandstorm, and the survivors attempting to make a flyable plane from the wreckage to escape.

In the 1965 film, the plane crashes in the Sahara desert, while in the 2004 remake, the crash occurs in the Gobi desert, although the survivors do not know if they are in Mongolia or in China.

The 1965 version stars James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Peter Finch, Ernest Borgnine, Hardy Krüger, George Kennedy, Dan Duryea, Ronald Fraser and Ian Bannen (nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) and was directed by Robert Aldrich. The 2004 remake stars Dennis Quaid, Giovanni Ribisi, Tyrese Darnell Gibson, Miranda Otto and Hugh Laurie and was directed by John Moore.

Stunt pilot Paul Mantz was killed during the filming of the 1965 movie.
