Cult Camp Classics Vol. 3 - Terrorized Travelers: Hot Rods To Hell / Skyjacked / Zero Hour

"Hot Rods To Hell" - "These kids have nowhere to go, and they want to get there at 150 miles an hour." So says a cop about the kids looking for kicks in their souped-up "Hot Rods To Hell." Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain play a straight-arrow couple whose family road trip to a new life in the West becomes a running game of "chicken" with pedal-to-the-metal teens. Shout, swerve, gesture, blow your horn, blow your stack - the kids won't relent. Buckle up. This is where the cult-movie rubber meets the road. "Skyjacked" - Hank O'Hara is as good a pilot as they come. He knows how to handle an airliner in turbulent skies. How to settle the big bird down like a baby put to bed. But now he faces the unexpected. He's been "Skyjacked." Charlton Heston plays O'Hara. John Guillermin ("The Towering Inferno") directs, escalating the tension in a story about a deranged war vet (James Brolin) who demands that a Minneapolis-bound flight make a slight detour - to Moscow. All that stands between the terrified passengers and doom is the steely resolve of Captain O'Hara. "Zero Hour" - Fish or lamb chops? A wrong dinner selection gives food poisoning to the pilot and first officer of Flight 714 - and that could mean doom for everyone aboard in "Zero Hour!," the high-flying film based on a story by Arthur Hailey and later spoofed in the comedy "Airplane!" Dana Andrews portrays the passenger who must overcome the trauma of his wartime experiences to guide the plane. His reaction when asked if he can fly the DC-4: "No. Not a chance." Sterling Hayden plays the flight-control jockey talking Andrews in through bumpy skies. "Flying is no different than riding a bicycle," he snaps. And gridiron great Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch is the stricken pilot.
