7/10
you can't escape your past or your future

At face value, "The Langoliers" looks like a "Twilight Zone" episode. But there seems to be more to it than that. It's as though what happens to the ten passengers forces them to confront their problems, but is aimed primarily at the hysterical businessman. To be certain, Stephen King -- who has a brief appearance -- once said "We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones." Aside from that, the movie is pretty fun. Tom Holland moves the action along just right so that the characters slowly figure out what happened...and what is about to happen. David Morse, Patricia Wettig, Dean Stockwell, Bronson Pinchot, and the rest of the cast put on some good performances. I recommend the movie. Because they WILL get you!
