534航班因缺副驾驶员从伦敦起飞时延误，在无人可补用的情况下，起用因降落出问题停飞的麦克·霍根。飞机途中遇风暴，货仓门被风吹掉砸破二号引擎，机上一片混乱，机长撞晕，麦克独自驾驶。在这危急关头，机组人员和乘客团结一致奋力抢修。携妻度假的机械师华人罗歇李、著名球星、因妻子伙同合伙人抢夺财产儿子又杀人的罪犯等人冒险抢修货仓门。在麦克的指挥下经过大家共同努力，飞机成功的在冰岛安全迫降。Having taken the blame for an accident beyond his control, pilot Mike Hogan has been on administrative leave indefinitely; however when the airline is desperately short of staff, he is offered to be first officer and accepts, without enthusiasm, received with disdain by the well-connected commander. Surprisingly his come-back proves less then routine, as the captain gets knocked out and a collision as well as a murderer being transported by police require courageous action from Mike, his crew and several passengers, including soccer star Ty Conner.
