    “The Flight Of The Phoenix” is a great old-style Hollywood movie. A plane crashes in the African desert and the crew and passengers have to find a way to get home. Exactly the kind of movie Roddenberry would have been thinking of when he pitched TOS.

      That’s a good one, and also the first thing I thought of.

      There’s also a remake that’s not bad that features Hugh Laurie using his native accent.

        Star Trek TOS episode ‘Balance of Terror’ is basically an updated submarine movie.

        That’s not a put down. They had to teach people how to watch science fiction.
