What to expect in Flight Risk?
Flight Risk will be directed and produced by Oscar winner Mel Gibson from a Black List script written by Jasen Rosenberg. This marks the Braveheart actor’s directorial comeback after nearly a decade since directing the Andrew Garfield-led war drama Hacksaw Ridge. The upcoming suspense thriller will be led by Mark Wahlberg, who previously collaborated with Gibson on Daddy’s Home 2 and Father Stu. It hails from Davis Entertainment and Icon Productions.
“The film follows a pilot (Wahlberg) transporting an Air Marshal (Dockery), who’s been tasked with accompanying a fugitive (Grace) to trial,” reads the synopsis. “As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.”
