A veteran pilot is at the controls when a commercial flight malfunctions and nose dives...
The story of a disaster, its aftermath and the lives of those involved (and not directly involved too). Less about the in flight drama and more about the nature of addicted personalities (and there's more than one of those in the film).
The expected super performance from Denzel, although Kelly Reilly is a revelation as a similar troubled soul.
Gripping drama that wraps a little too easily in this author's opinion.
PS
Unlikely to appear as your in-flight entertainment any time soon.

John Goodman's character is funny but throws things a bit out of whack.
