At 10,000 feet, when you have nowhere to go, and you’re trapped with a hitman, things are about to get seriously nasty. Well, that briefly sums up Lionsgate Movies‘ upcoming project, Flight Risk, directed by Mel Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge, The Passion of the Christ) and written by Jared Rosenberg.
Turns out, you don’t need an ensemble cast to capture the audience, and just three people are enough to get the job done.
The official release date for Flight Risk is still a few months away, but with the thrilling trailer released recently and gasps all around, we’re here to tell you all about Gibson’s latest movie.
What is the Plot of Flight Risk
Flight Risk takes place 10,000 feet up in the air, where a pilot is transporting an informant and an FBI agent to a trial. With the informant handcuffed at the back, the mystery soon begins to unravel when it is revealed that the pilot isn’t just a pilot, but also a hitman.
Now, the three are stuck up in the air and it’s truly the survival of the fittest, with no way out. The official trailer of Flight Risk gives the perfect glimpse into what viewers can expect from the movie, but if you fear flying, we’d considering treading lightly!
