Ahead of its Jnauary 13 premiere, the Gerard Butler-starring action thriller Plane has just released a final trailer which reveals a partnership forged in the most unlikely of circumstances. The film is set to follow pilot Brodie Torrance (Butler) as he fights to protect the passengers of his aircraft, which landed on a war-torn island after being struck by lightning.
The trailer begins with Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter) being introduced to Torrance as an accused murderer who is being transported by the FBI on the plane. However, Gaspare and Torrance will later work together to free passengers who were taken hostage on the war-torn island that was supposed to be their means of survival after the risky landing.
The film also stars Yoson An as Officer Dele, Daniella Pineda as Bonnie, Paul Ben-Victor as Hampton, Joey Slotnick as Sinclair and Remi Adele as Shellback. Plane is directed by French director Jean-Francois Richet, who is known for his work on Assault on Precinct 13 and Mesrine: Killer Instinct. JP Davis wrote the screenplay while Charles Cumming is credited for the film’s original idea. It was reported that Cumming’s pitch was originally bought by MadRiver Pictures in 2016, before Lionsgate acquired the rights in 2019.
