Based on a story by British spy thriller writer Charles Cumming, Plane is a breathless, white-knuckle action movie. Cummings co-wrote the screenplay with J. P. Davis, who moonlights as an actor in Hollywood.

Jean-Francois Richet directs Plane, steering Gerard Butler as pilot Brodie Torrance.

Richet is an award-winning director of French films like Inner City (1995) and Public Enemy No. 1 (2008).

Torrance tries to save his passengers from a lightning strike by making a risky landing on a war-torn island. They survive only to discover the emergency landing is just the beginning.

When most of the passengers are taken hostage by dangerous rebels, the only person Torrance can count on for help is Louis Gaspare, played by Mike Colter, an accused murderer the FBI was transporting.

Torrance needs Gaspare’s help to rescue the passengers. He soon learns there’s more to the accused murderer than he realized. Tony Goldwyn also stars in the movie.
