One of the most famous episodes of the originalTwilight Zonewas “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”, in which William Shatner played a man with a severe fear of flying who just happens to be in the midst of a flight. As if that weren’t bad enough, Shatner spots what appears to be a gremlin on the wing of the plane – but no one believes him. This segment was recreated forTwilight Zone: The Movie, with John Lithgow playing the lead character. Now, theTwilight Zonereboot brings you “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet”, in which Adam Scott is the main character on a plane. But “30,000 Feet” isn’t a remake of “20,000” – instead, Scott’s character finds himself listening to a podcast that claims the very plane he’s on is going to vanish off the face of the earth.
