Overview

An airliner on a routine flight from San Francisco to Tokyo is struck by a U.S. Navy missile. Because of the sudden change in cabin pressure, all but five people on board are either dead, comatose, or raving mad. As Flight 52 becomes the ultimate test of survival, onboard horrors begin to mount. In addition, the airline, the insurance company, and the Navy are desperate to cover up the mishap -- no matter what the cost.

Synopsis

If you thought Michael Crichton's Airframe posed the ultimate in-flight nightmare, welcome to Mayday. When an airliner going from the United States to Tokyo is hit by a U.S. Navy missile, chaos and death engulf the plane. The people aboard who are lucky enough to still be alive care only about making it to safety. But the government only wants to cover up the potential public-relations disaster.
