Tony B Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Does anyone know the name of a film which has the plot about two American airmen escaping using a downed plane as a ground vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adrian Barrell Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 No but there is a similar plot line in Sahara, not the Bogart one but the one based on Clive Cusslers book. Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino build a land yacht from the remains of a crashed biplane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tony B Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yeah I thought of that. The bloke who asked me is positive it was 'German' tank they were escaping from. Though he did describe the film as Silly! That fits the whole film and plot.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RattlesnakeBob Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 coincidence..:cheesy:... I've just struggled through that 'Sahara' book by Clive Cussler ... and ''struggled' was the operative description too I can tell you ............. I'd been recommended CC's books but I won't be reading another.. .... I thought it was schoolboy tripe of the highest order and I don't know if he meant it to be????... but I found it quite ridiculously comical... ....and before you ask...."Why d'ya finish it then!!???!!".. I had to because my mate has been raving about it and insisted I read it and would have questioned me at length on it...... ...so...... I had to finish it so that I could fairly & roundly criticise it afterwards! PS: You gotta go a long way to beat Wilbur Smith (nearly always superb IMHO) or Tom Clancy... (but not the absurd 'Control Centre series of books , only the 'earlier' good ones such as Red Storm Rising /Cardinal of the Kremlin/Without Remorse/Sum of all fears etc....) oh and PPS: don't make the mistake of watching the films.... read the books !:cheesy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
