An Air Marshal must accompany a fugitive for a helicopter ride across the Alaskan wilderness. What could possibly go wrong?
Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace star in the upcoming suspense thriller Flight Risk, where not everyone on board the aircraft is who they seem.
Viewers can expect a mix of action and psychological warfare, with the beautiful and majestic backdrop of the Alaskan mountains.
“They’re going to scream, laugh, cover their eyes, yell at the screen, and cheer. Flight Risk is a wild ride meant to be experienced in theaters,” says Mark Wahlberg.
Flight Risk is about three characters who can’t go anywhere, so there’s a kind of intimacy and beauty that will be powerful on the big screen. It will feel vast, and it will feel like they’re alone out there,” says Michelle Dockery.
“Any time you’re in an aircraft, especially one as small as ours, it’s going to be claustrophobic,” explains director and producer Mel Gibson. “We’ve played into everyone’s fear of flying, high altitudes, falling, and crashing.”
