A pilot must endure public humiliation from his vengeful ex-wife to land a fuel-critical jet.
Captain Arthur Vance fights a savage thunderstorm with only eight minutes of fuel remaining, carrying 327 passengers. The sole controller granting clearance is the woman he abandoned at the altar five years prior. She has sealed every runway, demanding he broadcast a confession over the cabin address system and strike himself one hundred times before allowing descent. With the aircraft's reserves bleeding away, Vance complies with the degrading ritual to secure a landing corridor.
