Movie clichés used in dozens of movies – The passenger lands the plane

Tweet

A passenger jet is in trouble. All the flight crew are dead or unconscious. A passenger who has knowledge of planes ends up landing everyone safely. The passenger either a/. flew a completely different aircraft, (i.e., a hot air balloon) played computer games that simulated air flight, built model aircraft out of balsa wood, or he was a plane-spotter. Somehow he avoids crashing and gets everyone down safely.
