PlotIn a post-pandemic world, aviation security is at an all-time high. Emily Renner, a skilled and dedicated air marshal, embarks on what seems like a routine flight from New York to London. However, the journey takes a dramatic turn when reports come in that a high-profile fugitive named David Kincaid may be on board. As tensions rise at 30,000 feet, Emily must quickly team up with Jack Thompson, a veteran pilot with a history of bending the rules, to address a potential threat that could jeopardize everyone on board. With communications compromised and trust in short supply, the passengers and crew are thrust into a high-stakes game of survival.
Unexpectedly, appearances can be deceiving, and secrets begin to unravel among the travelers. Kimble Reilly, a seemingly unassuming tech entrepreneur on the flight, turns out to have his own hidden agenda and connections to the fugitive. As Emily and Jack race against time, they face multiple challenges ranging from mechanical failures to internal betrayals. Forced to confront both seen and unseen dangers, their resolve is tested in ways they never anticipated. With lives hanging in the balance, quick thinking and courage become vital as they strive to uncover the truth. Tensions crescendo towards an unpredictable climax, testing the limits of human resilience and integrity.

Physical Media Reviews
Flight Risk presents a decent 4K transfer and solid Dolby Atmos mix but is held back by subpar visual effects; worth it only for a casual viewing.
