Narrative
The pilot transports the air marshal accompanying the fugitive to his trial. As they traverse the Alaskan wilderness, tensions rise and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they say they are. Mel Gibson has directed only five features since his 1993 directorial debut, The Man Without a Face. He often takes long breaks between films; Hacksaw Ridge came out seven years ago. By the time Gibson arrived at Flight Risk, he was already in pre-production on The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, the sequel to his 2004 box-office hit. Pilot: Do you need a pilot?
