:''"Fire and Rain" is also the name of a recording by James Taylor.'' ''Fire and Rain'' is a 1989 made-for-television film directed by Jerry J. Jameson, starring Charles Haid, Angie Dickinson and Tom Bosley, as well as an all-star ensemble television cast in supporting roles. The film was based on the Delta Air Lines Flight 191 aircraft crash at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on August 2, 1985, as depicted in ''Fire and Rain: A Tragedy in American Aviation'' (1986) by Jerome Greer Chandler. Jerry J. Jameson had become known for his work on "... movie-of-the-week phenomenon and group-jeopardy suspense and terror.", although he also became a specialist in "one-off" television and film features.〔Roberts 2009, p. 279.〕''Fire and Rain'' was an example of the aviation "disaster" film, as well, it also very much fits the additional genre of the complex, heavily character-driven ensemble cast film, exploring the personal dramas and interactions that develop among the passengers and crew as they deal with a deadly onboard emergency. ''Fire and Rain'', however, veers from the traditional format as it based on a real-life accident. ==Plot== On August 2, 1985, Delta Airlines Flight 191, flown by Captain Connors (John Beck) and First Officer Rudy Price (Dick Christie) are preparing to land at Dallas on its single stop, flying from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Los Angeles. Air Traffic controllers advise that a thunderstorm is present. The flight crew surmise that the aircraft might get washed, but have no other worries about the storm being so near. Passengers such as Lucille Jacobson (Patti Labelle), who is terrified of flying, however, are fearful about landing in a storm. Others, like Marilyn (Gloria Hocking) and Mike Steinberg (Joe Berryman) are thinking more about their California vacation. As the rain pelts down on the airliner, there is no warning of an impending crisis. Without warning, the airliner is slammed into the ground, a mile short of the runway, slicing into a small car on the road, killing William Mayberry (Rudy Young), before skidding onto the airport, and bursting into an explosion. Within a minute, all airport fire and emergency units were alerted. Five minutes into the rescue, first responders Jack Ayers (Dean Jones), Beth Mancini (Angie Dickinson), led by Bob Sonnamaker (Charles Haid) are rapidly deployed to the scene. The severed rear section of the airliner is where most survivors are found although flight attendants at the front of the airliner, also survive. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fire and Rain (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
