In the white-knuckle action movie PLANE, pilot Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) saves his passengers from a lightning strike by making a risky landing on a war-torn island -- only to find that surviving the landing was just the beginning. 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. In order to rescue the passengers, Torrance will need Gaspare's help, and will learn there's more to Gaspare than meets the eye.

Critics Consensus

Plane charts a standard action-adventure course with its cruising altitude just a few miles above Direct-to-Video -- but with Gerard Butler in the cockpit, thriller enthusiasts will still find this a fun flight.

Audience Says

Check your critical thinking at the gate: The plot's preposterous and loaded with entertaining action, making Plane plenty of good old-fashioned fun.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

But Plane is stifled by just how ordinary it is, and how closely it hews to the standard tropes of action films with longer, more descriptive -- yet less ridiculous -- titles.

Rated: 2/5

Times (UK)

Even by Butler’s B-list standards, this is borderline inept.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

It may be big, brawling and somewhat inelegant in approach, but this Gerard Butler vehicle is an aviation fuel-powered good time.

Rated: 3/5

The People's Movies

But those who are willing to overlook these missteps in favour of the themes on redemption and perseverance, as well as the confident filmmaking on display, will find themselves greatly rewarded by the film.

It’s just a solid throwback action thriller that feels like a relic from a bygone era, for all its flaws.

Rated: 7/10

"Plane" doesn't look like much in its trailers, but the film manages to be a decent popcorn thriller.

Much better than we expected. An amazing attention to detail. Plus, they managed to avoid cliches/stereotypes that you would expect in this kind of movie, and as a result many of the characters that you might think you are going to hate actually come away being very likeable. It doesn't really ever get silly in the film, and it still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat. The only bad thing about the film really is its name.
