Wednesday, December 20, 1995. Cali dresses up to celebrate Christmas and the beginning of the Feria. American Airlines Flight 965 from Miami, carrying 155 passengers and 8 crew members, is scheduled to land around 9:30 pm; but a chain of navigational errors causes it to never reach its destination. The aircraft crashes into a hill, leaving the wreckage in an area of impossible access, dense fog and controlled by guerrillas. A group of rescuers from Cali, including Dr. Quintero, paramedic Perdomo and firefighter Galvis, are the first to react and try to reach the crash site, where they find a big surprise: miraculously. there are passengers who have survived the initial impact and the sub-zero temperatures. The rescuers will have only a few hours to reach them and save them, facing all kinds of obstacles and difficulties.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
