Plane (2022)
Plane stars MTV Movie Award winner Gerard Butler (Last Seen Alive, Greenland, Angel Has Fallen, 300) as pilot Brodie Torrance, who is forced to make a risky emergency landing on a war-torn island during a terrible storm. But surviving the landing was just the beginning, and when they encounter dangerous rebels, the only passenger Torrance can count on for help is Louis Gaspare, a fugitive being extradited by the FBI.
Critics Choice and Black Reel nominee Mike Colter (Marvel’s Luke Cage, Lemond Bishop in The Good Wife) co-stars as Gaspare. Also look out for Nigerian Remi Adeleke, real-life Navy SEAL.
The #41 highest grossing movie of this year so far, Financial Times calls Plane, “an adrenaline-pumping banger”; The Ringer says, “They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore”; and Time Out calls it, “Brisk, easy, brutish. It has explosions, punch-ups, shoot-outs and more than one bit where someone gets smacked in the face with a big hammer. How much more could you reasonably ask? It’s a blast.”
Colter is already lined up to star in the equally gloriously named sequel, called … wait for it … Ship.
