I remember watching this episode as a kid. They had actually gone back to prehistoric times, with the land below all jungle land and a brontosaurus (apatosaurus) looking up at the jet. They increased elevation and increased speed till they got to 1939 AD, only to come up a bit short again. I was fascinated with time travel from then on.
@@giraffesareselfish9563 the trick is NOT to stop the war entirely . But at least stop us from getting involved . Somehow your going to have to stop Japanese invasion of Peal Harbor . That !… is what got US involved .
" The Odyssey of Flight 33 " freaked me out when I saw it on TV in 1961. I was ten years old at the time. The fact that all the drama takes place in the cabin speaks to the excellence of the actors and script. Except for the dinosaur and the shots of the World's Fair, it's confined to the cockpit.

TWILIGHT ZONE WAS MY ALL--TIME BEST FAVOURITE TV SHOW WHEN I WAS A CHILD. AND MANY YEARS LATER , TWILIGHT ZONE IS STILL MY BEST ALL--TIME FAVOURITE TV SHOW OF ALL TIME. ROD SERLING WAS , IS , AND WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT , BRILLIANT , AND UNIQUELY IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN. ✏📈🐟

He was in more Riflemans than anyone else. Usually the heavy. He always delivered. Had they made a movie of John Brown, he would have been the only choice.
Serling was constantly scrutinized, censored & told his themes or stories were too controversial. That's the brilliance of Twilight Zone. He could right about , than, modern problems, just in a fantasy genre. I love them all. Maybe a few I care a little less about, but still beautifully filmed, dialogues, totally gives plenty of room for ones own opinion or thoughts. Remade atleast 3 separate times.
I did not know that about the censorship. Can you elaborate if possible? Very interesting and I know that we were full swing in the Cold War back then. I'm class of '76. We are all getting Medicare this year. Humph.
I think one of the strongest and most original aspects of Rod Serling's writing for the Twilight Zone and his earlier live television plays is the incredibly effective way in which he posits wildly improbable, "sci-fi" situations and plots alongside timeless musings on human nature and its often less-than-savory side. The episodes are really modern-day morality plays distantly echoing the first flowerings of theater in ancient Greece when humankind was taking its first baby steps toward striving to understand of the complexity of mortal human existence.
and there was also a 1985 TZ episode "A matter of minutes" where a guy went round a corner and found the future still under construction, and it's explained that a new world is built for each minute, and then ripped apart, which also fits with the Langoliers. "inspiration" is rather a generous term for it, considering he seems to have lifted those ideas whole from the Twilight Zone.
lifelieswaiting Don't forget the passengers, they could have screwed things up royally, some might have gone to Germany and joined the Nazis, others might have to Russia and joined with Stalin and who knows what else. The result would be worse than what we have now, or it might be better who knows just don't mess with the past. I would rather have a look at the future and see what I could learn and take back with me.
This was the second episode that I ever saw. I got a 4 episode TZ dvd when I was 8 and went to my aunt’s house that night and watched it. The first one was Time Enough At Last which freaked me out because of how upsetting the ending was. I decided to watch the next one in hopes that it was less depressing. It was not. This episode has no real ending to it. They’re just stuck in this time traveling limbo. At least there was a conclusion in the other one. This one freaked me out so much more that I was still thinking about it days later when I was outside and thinking about Serling’s closing narration staring at the sky
You gotta hand it to the captain. He remained as calm as possible and still in control amidst the scary situation. Question now is... did they get home?
John Anderson has appeared in so many episodes of series television and movies, it's very difficult to know them all. His career spanned decades and genres. One of my favorites was an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He portrayed an immortal, extremely powerful being called a Douwd. He took on the alias, Kevin Uxbridge, pretending to be a human. The planet was attacked by a cruel race called the Husnocks. Kevin's human wife was killed in the fighting. In his sorrow and rage, he lashed out at the Husnocks, killing every single member of the race throughout the universe. He recreated his wife and land on the desolate remains of the planet.
The trouble I have with this scene is this is 1961 and when the ATC says he doesn't know anything about jets or radar the pilots seem basically unfazed - when in fact they should have been completely shocked because that would have been impossible.
This was a wild one. Was sitting here watching a Twilight Zone marathon and this one came on. Don't remember seeing this one before. However, they were very calm about traveling back to a whole other decade. 😅
Funny you should mention the TZ marathon. Not sure when it comes on because I haven’t seen one in a while but I swear every time I watch one, there are episodes I just can’t recall and I thought I had seen them all throughout the years.
I would have just gone ahead and landed the plane in 1939. Considering the fuel supply remaining, they might not get that close to 1961 if they try again.
TheStapleGunKid the Wikipedia said the runway was too small to handle the 707 and could crash. Also, it will be like the Avianca flight 52 incident if they did fly back to 1961 but low on fuel
“Shoot up a flare or do something. That would be Global 33 trying to get home from the twilight zone.” No one in TV land had better opening and closing story lines.
They should've just landed. The fact that they returned to the same century is a miracle. It's like getting a 20 in Blackjack. You better cash out or you're a damn fool.
If they landed in 1939 they'd end up meeting their past selves -- that would create a huge time paradox since they could warn themselves of the future.
Kind of interesting in that, in the end, they managed to make it back to just about 25 years prior to time in which they lived. If this happened now, that would put the plane back into 1991. That is not so bad, as many of the people on the plane would be old enough to remember that time, and would recognize their family members.
They should do a sequel of this episode where Flight 33 from 1961 finally lands in our present time in 2016 to 2017 with all of the passengers and crew are un-aged like the 4400.
@@phillipngo2133 All the instruments are analog, using high frequency transmissions in the era of GPS and HD transmissions? And another question-four people flying an airplane- while only two piloting Boeing 737,47,57,67,787 Dreamliner and Airbus?
"LaGuardia this is a jet. We have four big lovely turbines and they're getting hungry. Running short on fuel. We want a radar vector to Idlewild. Do you have us in radio contact or don't you?"
If you noticed the closing credits, you would have seen Robert J. Serling as "Technical Consultant." That was Rod's brother! Rod needed credible technobabble for the flight crew and Robert provided it. He also wrote a novel "The President's Plane is Missing."
Not only that but another blooper is a scientific one. The landscape would not have looked the same way millions of years ago as it did in 1961; in other words, the captain would not have been able to identify any of modern-day New York's landscape features, as he so handily did. Entertaining episode, nonetheless.
I love the, "Report to this office immediately upon landing." That's like being called to HR for a write up. They still do this and what you don't want to hear is your call sign followed by, "Take down this number and call me immediately upon landing." You just pissed off ATC. Such fun to watch!
Proper radio procedure would be for them to have announced their intention to descend over the radio, even if they weren't sure anyone could hear them. That would give ATC a heads up and allow them to direct other traffic away of their route. They failed to do that. There's no way to know for certain that ATC can't hear you, just because you can't hear them. Proper NRDO (no radio) procedure is to continue the planned flight path and land at the intended airport, announcing your intentions the whole way, and looking out for visual light gun signals from the tower once you get close enough.
Ladies and gentlemen,this is your captain speeking,i want to inform you I'm on Acid ,triple dipped blotter to be exact ,and it is so good we went back in time.All I ask of you is you remain calm.
What immediately made me think of this episode is the trailer I saw on NBC for the upcoming new show called 'Manifest' where a plane (737) took off from an island bound for New York in 2013, then when the plane lands at JFK airport its 2018 and the FBI is there waiting to tell them that they were all reported missing assumed dead for 5 years and no on the plane aged a day. I mean what a coincidence that is huh?
To this very day they're still missing. Lost and yet so many things throughout time they got to witness that no one else has. If they did ever land it must have been so far back that it made no difference towards history in an obscure location where no one would notice and just assimilated themselves into ancient societies of the time. Or they landed far into the future ahead of our own time. One way or another they would have had to come done eventually, it's so interesting just speculating how it could have ended
Why is this video so clear? The filming, the camera-work? The details are so precise as if this video has even more pixels than modern-day film productions. I don't understand.
Because it was shot on film. Film doesn't have pixels. This means there is no space between each piece of the image, no border as with pixels. Therefore it looks like it has more pixels.
I wonder if they got any points for going back 150 million years ago to the late Jurassic Period to see a brachiosaurus. Wow! Then again I think most points are based on distance not time. The World's Fair? Jurassic Park is a hard act to follow. Anyway, they got to their destination early!
So entertaining to once again watch what I did when I was a scared 9 year old. I do remember the SFX left something to be desired, aka, the lame Brontosaurus in the earlier scene. Can you imagine Rod Sterling returning to present times to watch Avatar? Lol. Actually, I just came up with a good idea for movie script.
Global Flight 33? Is your flight engineer Fred Purcell? Yes, that's correct. Dad, it's Johnny. I don't know where you've been for the past 20 years but please come home. Johnny?? Twenty years? We overshot. We want to refuel and try to get back to the correct year. And the first thing I'm going to do is tell you that I'm very proud of how you grew up.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but the end of the episode was the only time the captain was perfectly honest with the passengers about their situation. When the people in power withheld their knowledge and true motives from the people they were meant to serve, they ended up putting everybody in a worse situation. Maybe now that they're being upfront, they'll finally be allowed to return to their home time period. Or maybe there was no lesson to this episode and was just a really good story. Regardless, I loved it!
I never really took it that they were keeping information from the passengers, the crew really didn't know what to report because they didn't really know what was going on up until towards the end of the episode.
@@mgmboy3778 I always interpreted that narration as happening roughly in real time, when the crew were about to attempt to go back. That would make it more of an advisory than a prediction.
In all honesty, if they were running low on fuel and had undershot their flight by 22 years, I would've counted my blessings and made an emergency landing in 1939, paradoxes be damned. If I was flying that plane I would've rather dealt with that than the plane running out of fuel and crashing who knows where or when.
DeltaEagle7700 I bet the entire USA civilian would be shocked, surprise and fascinated but the 707. It would appear in news article, in tv and all over the countrys. The comet would never exist and the most turboprop plane would be replaced in just a few year.

It isn't always that simple - there are consequences to each action one does. So don't jump to conclusions.

I’ll say they got back home and no one believed them.

Ross Wood to be honest, I kind of like episode of the twilight zone involving planes and stuff like this one and and the nightmare at 20,000 feet
I want to see violence or death or trauma inflicted on likable characters without anything happening on screen
I like the episode instead of To serve man
Nobody must believe Bob Wilson about what he says on the side of the wing especially when there's evidence that the wing was damaged
WHERE ARE THE DINOSAURS?!?!
Hammering Hank They had already gone back to prehistoric times. I remember that too. This video just skipped to 1939 AD.
The original “Manifest”....
TZ other plane ep without Shatner.....
Rod Serling was a genius…too bad he was a chain smoker…
They're probably gonna be stranded forever
Because they dead.😌
This episode was on MeTV, 7-15-24.
THIS IS SCARY AND COULD REALLY HAPPEN PEOPLE. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. STRANGE TIMES WE NOW LIVE IN
Well more than a year ago, a plane literally went missing, off the radars.
It can't happen. You would affect the past. The past already happened
sheer genius
The crew can't mention the type of aircraft (e.g. "Boeing 707") they're flying because it might have resulted in legal action (in the U.S.)
What a classic
Best fear
I don't watch the number 1 episode's
@mr nobody #1 episodes?
Global Flight 33? Is your flight engineer Fred Purcell?
Yes, that's correct.
Dad, it's Johnny. I don't know where you've been for the past 20 years but please come home.
Johnny?? Twenty years? We overshot. We want to refuel and try to get back to the correct year. And the first thing I'm going to do is tell you that I'm very proud of how you grew up.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but the end of the episode was the only time the captain was perfectly honest with the passengers about their situation. When the people in power withheld their knowledge and true motives from the people they were meant to serve, they ended up putting everybody in a worse situation. Maybe now that they're being upfront, they'll finally be allowed to return to their home time period. Or maybe there was no lesson to this episode and was just a really good story. Regardless, I loved it!
I never really took it that they were keeping information from the passengers, the crew really didn't know what to report because they didn't really know what was going on up until towards the end of the episode.
narrator, confirms that they didn't make it just got listen carefully the conversation he says the end
@@mgmboy3778 I always interpreted that narration as happening roughly in real time, when the crew were about to attempt to go back. That would make it more of an advisory than a prediction.
How did the aircraft go back in time?
Idlewild Airport is now JFK in NYC.
It's full of rubbish statements but somehow it holds you into the story and is one of the top twenty episode episodes.
In all honesty, if they were running low on fuel and had undershot their flight by 22 years, I would've counted my blessings and made an emergency landing in 1939, paradoxes be damned. If I was flying that plane I would've rather dealt with that than the plane running out of fuel and crashing who knows where or when.
I Listen to this Episode (Radio Version) EVERYTIME I take a Flight
Imagine a Boeing 707 landing in 1939!
DeltaEagle7700 I bet the entire USA civilian would be shocked, surprise and fascinated but the 707. It would appear in news article, in tv and all over the countrys. The comet would never exist and the most turboprop plane would be replaced in just a few year.
@@phillipngo2133 Without a doubt!
I wonder if this inspired Stephen King to write The langoliers
