Plane

Gerard Butler is a commercial pilot making a New Years flight from Singapore to LA. He is a former RAF pilot, has only 15 people on the flight, and at the last minute this includes a prisoner extradition passenger. A weather check right before takeoff includes a money saving decision by the airline to send the plane on the shortest route through the center of a storm. Enough foreshadowing for you? The plane goes down, lands on a remote island in the Philippines controlled by bad guys. Butler and his new buddy the prisoner are all about saving lives. Classic action thriller.
