A down-on-his-luck pilot stuck repossessing private jets is offered one last shot at redemption in the form of a dangerous rescue mission in director Jerry Jameson's Christian-themed adventure. Dan Hogan's (Richard Tyson) once-promising stint in the skies has come to a standstill, and now the only way that the former pilot can seem to make ends meet is by playing repo man to the jet-set crowd. When the father of Dan's ex-girlfriend Ann (Bobbie Phillips) receives news that the Columbian village in which his missionary daughter lives has fallen prey to marauding drug-runners who aren't above killing to make a buck, he enlists the aid of the washed-up pilot in ensuring that the endangered girl makes it back home alive. Now, with time running short and the nefarious General Salazar (Rene Moreno) making his way to the remote village in which Ann has set up camp, Dan must enlist the aid of talkative missionary dentist Dr. Mateo Barrero (Adriano Gonzalez) in navigating the treacherous grounds of Alto Risco and bringing home the benevolent Ann. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Having been burned by a traumatic childhood experience, greedy toy tycoon Tyler Madison (Harry Hamlin) is contemptuous of his fellow man, ruthlessly nasty in his business dealings, and callously neglectful of his wife Elyse (Megan Gallegher) and son Danny (Curtis Blanck). Just before Christmas, Madison piles into his private plane and heads for the North Pole, determined to put his chief competitor, Santa Claus (William Hookins), out of business. But upon his arrival, he realizes that he and S.C. have a lot in common--and thus the inevitable epiphany occurs, culminating in the settling of an "Elf strike" and a closer bond between Tyler and his loved ones. Like Father, Like Santa was telecast by cable's Fox Family Channel on December 1, 1998. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
