There was a made for TV movie about this in the late 80’s...it was one of the things that first got me interested in aviation. Wish I could find the name of that movie - any help?
> The incident was dramatised in the American 1993 made-for-TV movie Mercy Mission - the Rescue of Flight 771. It starred Scott Bakula as Jay Prochnow and Robert Loggia as Gordon Vette.
