Action Drama Romance Thriller

7.3 / 10

Whip Whitaker is a commuter airline pilot. While on a flight from Orlando to Atlanta something goes wrong and the plane starts to fly erratically. With little choice Whip crashes the plane and saves almost all on board. When he wakes up in the hospital, his friend from the airline union introduces him to a lawyer who tells him there's a chance he could face criminal charges because his blood test reveals that he was intoxicated with alcohol and cocaine. He denies being impaired, so while an investigation is underway, he is told to keep his act together. However, letting go of his addiction is not as easy as it seems...

Great film and Denzel got robbed IMO for best actor Oscar, he lost to "Lincoln", what a joke. - @Tuesday, September 1, 2015 8:51 PM

This is a great movie because it teaches me that MORALITY AND LAW are far more important than heroism, and it teaches well. Heroism is a gift, but we can't rely on it, MORALITY AND LAW are the true heroes who save us!!! - @Thursday, March 6, 2014 5:21 PM

A brilliant movie about addiction and the excuses given for being addicted : I'm great at what I do - I landed that damaged plane drunk. I wasn't at my best because of the drug and sex binge the night before but why should you complain if I happened to be one of those pilots that could do that and still perform my job ? ... can't you tell the difference ?! - @Thursday, February 20, 2014 11:39 PM

This was such a great movie, very entertaining and suspenseful. Although we was drunk, he still am managed to land that plane with only 4 passengers being killed, wow! Great movie and a heads up to all those alcoholics out there. - @Friday, July 19, 2013 3:19 PM

Never happen in real life. The negative G's induced in what is the equivilant of an outside loop would have torn the wings off, not to mention killed the passengers..... - @Monday, November 19, 2012 6:57 AM

ok i think i get it, nose down trim, then roll the plane to where it lands ...tail hits first , belly flop and instead of the nose of the plane crashing into the ground on impact. the nose is pointing up for a belly flop. si all u piolots remember this when it happens to you - @Thursday, November 15, 2012 10:37 PM

looks like an MD-82 to me . I am impressed with their choice. McDonnell Douglas has a superb reputation with plane crashes in fact the most in commercial aviation. - @Wednesday, November 14, 2012 6:44 AM

Can anyone tell me the name of the actress who played the little Miss Scanty Panty role at the start of the movie? That scene should put lead in my pencil. - @Thursday, November 1, 2012 7:20 PM

One major error in movie. The opening scene is 7:15am in a hotel room near the airport, yet supposedly Washington's flight departs at 9:00am. In real life, an airline pilot would have to arrive at the airport at least 2-3 hours prior to departure.This is to check weather patterns, navigate a route, check fuel on board and to check passenger manifesto. - @Tuesday, October 30, 2012 7:35 PM

As he flies he puts on ear phones and listens to COP KILLER RAP. The Lion Kings better get use to saying President Romney Mova F##K. - @Sunday, October 28, 2012 4:35 AM

JUST ANOTHER LION KING MOVIE BUT IN A PLANE We match a super Lion King against a whip white male who cannot fly a plane made of notebook paper. A totally fictional happening. I remember him in a US Abrams Tank last time as a Lion King blowing up 1000s of Iraqi tanks and our own. - @Sunday, October 28, 2012 4:32 AM

This movie annoys me already. It's an MD-80 but clearly not an MD-80 flight deck. Also the copilot is a puss. - @Friday, October 26, 2012 8:38 PM

He didn't land the plane upside down. He trimmed the plane nose down until it was upside down midair so he could level out the dive, then just as he came in on approach he rolled the plane back over to land on it's belly this can be seen at 0:28 . Not criticizing, just an observation, looks like this is gonna be good ;D - @Friday, August 3, 2012 9:04 PM
