"Where did everybody go? And why didn't we go with them?" ("The Langoliers").

Stephen King is one of my favorite horror writers. He is truly a master of horror and takes a different approach to his works. The Langoliers is, in my opinion, one of his greater works.

Flight 29 of American Pride is heading to Boston. That trip is delayed when 10 passengers awaken to discover that they are the only ones left on a flight that was full of passengers, and that those passengers have seemed to mysteriously disappeared.

The 10 passengers, along with the Captain of the flight work together to try and solve the mystery, and come to the realization that what's going on is TIME. Now it's up to them to race against time and fight their way back into their own time before their time runs out. Makes sense???

The Langoliers is the prime example of time not being on one's side. Questions start to ensue. What time are they in? Why have they traveled to that time? How do they get back into their own time? What happens when time runs out?

Despite the occasional dull moments, this movie will keep you guessing. Check it out on Netflix. 

Peace.
