A federal marshal escorting a mob witness to trial hires a bush pilot for the run across Alaska. Thirty minutes into the flight she realizes the man at the controls is not a pilot at all. Mark Wahlberg turns predator in Mel Gibson's tightest, meanest thriller yet.
Flight Risk
Somewhere over the Alaskan wilderness, thirty thousand feet of nothing separates three people from the ground, and only one of them knows how to fly. Federal Marshal Madolyn Harris (Michelle Dockery) has one job: get Winston (Topher Grace), a jittery accountant turned government witness, onto a plane and into a New York courtroom alive. The Moretti family wants him silenced. The charter pilot waiting on the runway, Daryl (Mark Wahlberg), seems harmless enough, all easy grin and Southern drawl. He is neither harmless nor a pilot. What follows is ninety one minutes of pure claustrophobic tension inside a cabin the size of a car, where the exits open onto open sky and the only person qualified to land the aircraft is the one trying to kill you. Director Mel Gibson, the Oscar nominated filmmaker behind Hacksaw Ridge and Apocalypto, strips the thriller down to its bones and lets it run. Wahlberg, shaved bald and completely off the leash, delivers his first true villain role in decades. Written by Jared Rosenberg from his acclaimed Black List screenplay and released by Lionsgate, Flight Risk is lean, vicious, and relentlessly paced. If you like your thrillers with no fat and nowhere to run, this one lands. Stream Flight Risk (2025) in HD now, only on Tesliya.
