Synopsis
A pilot transports an air marshal accompanying a fugitive to trial. As they traverse the Alaskan wilderness, tensions rise and trust is tested as not everyone on board is who they seem. Mel Gibson has only directed five feature films since his 1993 debut, The Man Without a Face. He often takes long breaks between films; Hacksaw Ridge was released seven years ago. Before Gibson gets to Flight Risk, he’s already in pre-production on The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, a sequel to his 2004 blockbuster. Pilot: Do They Need a Pilot?
