Synopsis:
A routine late-night flight becomes a nightmare for hotel manager Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) when mysterious operative Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy) coerces her assistance in an assassination plot. Lisa's father (Brian Cox) is unknowingly held hostage by Rippner's associates in order to ensure her compliance, but her quick wits and personal strength of character are factors not entered into their calculations. This tightly filmed suspense follows the twists of the game as these two worthy opponents engage in a high-stakes battle of wills they must hide from the other passengers, all while seated next to each other on a packed flight.
Cast also includes Jayma Mays and Jack Scalia.
