FLIGHT PLAN

Jody Foster is very grown up in the movie Flight Plan (2005). Yes, I know she's been grown up for a long time, but for some reason I always think of her as a child. Maybe it's my age, and not hers, that's the problem.

Nevertheless, this is as suspenseful a film as you'd ever want to see. We are taken into the mind of a woman who has lost her husband and isn't sure whether he was pushed or jumped from a roof. She goes back over the details again and again in her thoughts, but either way suffers profound grief over his loss. She has a child, a little girl, to take care of so she packs her luggage for the flight which will take herself, her daughter, and her deceased husband back from Berlin to the US and home.

Her young daughter disappears on board the plane and it becomes apparent that no one ever saw her or ever believed the girl was on board. They don't even believe she exists! Dark, mysterious people enter in as she frantically searches the plane, including a man posing as a sky marshal.

Throughout the flight, you will wonder if the mother has truly lost her mind in her grief and has created an imaginary child. Rated PG-13 for violence and some intense plot action, this will keep you on the edge of your seat.
