Based on the events of Air Canada Flight 143, the film stars William Devane, Scott Hylands, Shelley Hack and Mariette Hartley.

Production

Falling from the Sky: Flight 174 was based on Freefall: From 41,000 feet to Zero - A True Story by William and Marilyn Hoffer. Although retaining the real names of three key individuals: Pilots Bob Pearson and Maurice Quintal and Air Canada Maintenance Engineer and passenger Rick Dion, along with their families, the names of the other people and the airline and the flight number were changed.

Captain Robert Pearson, the pilot of Air Canada Flight 143 on which the film is based on, makes a cameo appearance at the start of the film as the flight simulator instructor telling the 2 pilots that the scenario they just failed has happened before.
