"The Odyssey of Flight 33" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. This episode takes place on Global Airlines Flight 33, en route from London to New York City. About fifty minutes from Idlewild Airport, Captain Farver and his crew notice that their Boeing 707 is drastically increasing speed, crossing some kind of barrier. They soon realize they have been thrown back in time when they spot a plodding creature resembling classic Brontosaurus. They're able to repeat their incredible increase in speed, hoping to get back to 1961, but arrive above the 1939 New York World's Fair instead. Realizing that they can't land in 1939, and low on fuel, the captain knows that they must keep trying, in order to return home. "All I ask is that you remain calm", he informs the passengers over the P.A. system, "...and pray". Announcer: "And now, Mr. Serling." less
