Question
This movie is about an airplane crew who crash in the middle of the desert, and by the end of the movie they realize that they are all dead. i think it has some pretty big name in it, however this is all i can remember. Thanks for any help you can give me!!

Answer
Hi Anna,

It's taken me a while to do some research on this plot,....sorry for the delay.
But I think the movie you're referring to was originally made for TV.  It's called "Sole
Survivor" (1970), and starred Vince Edwards, William Shatner, and Richard Basehart.  It had to do with the ghosts of the pilots which still remained with the plane (playing baseball, etc.)
until each of  their bodies could be found,...and their souls released.

Similar story lines were also in made-for-tv movies:  "King Nine Will Not Return"(Twilight Zone);...."The Mission" (Amazing Stories);....and "Bombers Moon" (Playhouse 90).

Sincerely,

Jim Kason
