Dusty is a small-town plane who dreams of one day competing as a high-flying air racer. However, poor Dusty has two strikes against him: He's not built for racing, and he's terribly afraid of heights. To achieve his dream, Dusty turns to naval aviator Skipper. Skipper helps Dusty qualify to take on Ripslinger, the race circuit's defending champion. Dusty's courage faces the ultimate test, as he takes aim at heights he never dreamed were possible.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Planes has enough bright colors, goofy voices, and slick animation to distract some young viewers for 92 minutes -- and probably sell plenty of toys in the bargain -- but on nearly every other level, it's a Disney disappointment.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Essentially, it's Cars retold with planes. Small, undiscerning kiddies will probably love it and demand the DVD on repeat; adults will be nosediving into their popcorn with boredom. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times In the skies, as on tarmac, this remains the world's most fossil-fuel-friendly franchise. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2013 Full Review Guy Lodge London Evening Standard For "international", read "packed with wince-worthy ethnic stereotyping" - it's the only way the writers know how to define character in a universe this soulless. Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2013 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film It’s all about Cook and Keach, whose relationship and characters are the main focus here. Rated: B Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad annavetticadgoes2themovies Planes is sweet. It’s also insubstantial and feels incomplete; a film I think I might have liked better if I’d never seen Pixar’s Cars. Rated: 2.75/5 Jan 15, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com One film that should find itself grounded from the box-office airways rather quickly. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 20, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

I recommend it to everyone.
