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.

Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Kevin Maher Times (UK) Even by Butler’s B-list standards, this is borderline inept. Rated: 2/5 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Jan 29, 2023 Full Review Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Calum Cooper 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. Rated: 3/5 Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine It’s just a solid throwback action thriller that feels like a relic from a bygone era, for all its flaws. Rated: 7/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Courtney Lanning WCSH "Plane" doesn't look like much in its trailers, but the film manages to be a decent popcorn thriller.

Actors really made you feel they were terrified. One of Gerard Butlers best films! This is another movie Id see many times! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Bertha It was a very interesting movie, suspense Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Ted 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.
