Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)

Miller's segment: "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" This four-part anthology closes with Miller's remake of the classic episode, with John Lithgow as a terrified airline passenger who sees something on the wing in a storm. It runs only a short stretch of the film, yet it is pure Miller: a confined space, mounting panic and a camera that never stops moving. It is the quickest way to see that his talent for momentum works just as well inside an airplane cabin as on an open road.
