A pilot transports a U.S. Marshal accompanying a government witness to a trial in New York. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.
Acting
Michelle Dockery's unbothered marshal energy deserves better scripts.
Practical Effects
Real Cessna chaos beats CGI plane disasters.
Direction
Mel Gibson still knows how to tighten a screw.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in just 22 days in Alaska, with real bush pilots consulting on the Cessna 208 sequences.
Gibson's return to directing thrillers after a decade away feels deliberately small-scale—almost like he's proving he can still build tension in a shoebox.
