Title confusion, possibly error

The 1993 TV movie "Mercy Mission: The Rescue of Flight 771" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107556/reference), on which I was the first assistant director, appears on my credits list (and that of the director and, presumably, others on the show) as "Flight from Hell."  This despite the fact that clicking on the "Flight from Hell" link on our personal pages takes you to our movie's IMDb page which shows the correct title and correct poster artwork.  Here's my credits list: (https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0404107?ref_=hm_prof_name) where you can see what I mean. 

There does exist on IMDb a different movie titled "Flight from Hell" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3259320/reference), but that movie has no connection whatsoever to ours.     

I'm a somewhat experienced contributor and I know how to use the "Correct Title" page, but that won't solve the situation.  The only way to reach that page is via the "Mercy Mission" page which already shows the correct title that I'm not trying to change.  I only want to de-link the "Flight from Hell" title which has somehow become entwined with "Mercy Mission."

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide.

Your movie has "Flight from Hell" listed as the UK title:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107556/releaseinfo#akas

This seems to be accurate based on a British video release:

That British IMDb users may see that title displayed for the movie makes sense, but I assume you are in the USA.

I will try to fix this by adding the original title as "IMDb display title" for USA in the Alternate titles section. Please report back if this changes the display you are seeing.

Thank you so much for removing this thorn from my (and the director's) side. Gotta love this community!
