When most of the passengers are taken hostage by dangerous rebels, the only person Torrance can count on for help is Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter), an accused murderer who was being transported by the FBI. To rescue the passengers, Torrance will need Gaspare’s help, and will learn there’s more to Gaspare than meets the eye.

About Plane Movie:
Plane is a American action thriller film directed by Jean-François Richet from a screenplay by Charles Cumming and J. P. Davis. The film stars Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Yoson An, and Tony Goldwyn.
The studio wanted a different title for the movie, but Gerard Butler insisted on keeping the title simple and went with “Plane”.
The film was announced in 2016, acquired by Lionsgate in 2019, sold to Solstice Studios in 2020, and re-acquired by Lionsgate in 2021. It was shot in Puerto Rico.
The movie was originally scheduled to be released in October 2022, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, because the production was affected by the lockdowns and travel restrictions imposed by various countries. The filming was completed in late 2021, but the post-production and marketing were delayed by several months.
It was filmed in Puerto Rico and not Singapore or The Philippines where the movie is supposed to be.
The plane was released in the United States on January 13, 2023. The film received generally favorable reviews from critics. It was released to VOD on February 3, 2023, and was later released on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K UHD on March 28, 2023.
Plane grossed $32.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $42 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $74.1 million.
