Summary
- Pilot Mark Wahlberg revealed as a dangerous hitman
- U.S. Marshal Michelle Dockery escorts mob informant on flight
- Entire movie takes place on a small, out-of-control plane

Nearly a decade after his last directorial effort, Mel Gibson has returned with the thriller "Flight Risk." The film, which hit theaters earlier this year, follows U.S. Marshal Madolyn Harris (Michelle Dockery) as she escorts a high-value mob informant, Winston (Topher Grace), on a chartered flight from Alaska.
However, the real danger aboard the plane comes from the pilot, Daryl Booth, played by Mark Wahlberg. Wahlberg, who typically portrays heroic characters, shines in the role of the unhinged hitman, delivering both creepy and hilarious verbal taunts to Madolyn as she struggles to maintain control of the situation.
With the entire movie taking place on the small, out-of-control plane, Madolyn and Winston must confront the very real threat posed by Daryl, even as he is restrained. Madolyn, who is trying to redeem herself and save her career, must navigate the high-stakes scenario and determine who she can trust.
