THE NIGHT THEY TOOK MISS BEAUTIFUL

Cinemavixion Review

Robert Michael Lewis's 1977 thriller, "The Night They Took Miss Beautiful," offers a tense blend of beauty pageant drama and bio-terror. The premise is immediately gripping: a flight carrying glamorous finalists is hijacked, but the criminals are unaware they've also on board a government agent carrying a deadly virus. This setup masterfully escalates the stakes from a mere hijacking to a potential global catastrophe. The film capitalizes on its intriguing concept, weaving suspense through the confined setting of the airplane. While the external data notes a modest IMDb rating, the film's unique narrative hook and the execution of its high-stakes plot make it a noteworthy, albeit perhaps under-seen, entry in the genre. It's a compelling watch for those seeking a taut thriller with an unconventional twist.
