The Survivor is a 1981 Australian supernatural horror film directed by David Hemmings and starring Robert Powell, Jenny Agutter, and Joseph Cotten.

In Adelaide, Australia, airline pilot David Keller survives the crash of his Boeing 747-200, unhurt despite all of its 300 passengers dying in the accident.

After the vigil, Keller is approached by Hobbs, a clairvoyant who witnessed the plane crash from the ground, and who claims to have been contacted by the spirits of the victims.

Keller visits Hobbs at her home and rebuffs her, after which she attacks him and the two have a scuffle in which both seem to lose control of their bodies, experiencing the untethered emotions of the victims.

Moments later, the screams of the victims fill the hangar, and a large aeroplane propelling suddenly bursts into flames, triggering an inferno that burns both Keller and Slater to death.

The following day, as the wreckage crew hauls away portions of the crashed plane, they discover Keller's burnt corpse seated in the cockpit.

$350,000 of the budget was invested by the South Australian Film Corporation, with a similar amount coming from English investors.
