Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster) has her hands full with the death of her husband and the return of his body to the United States from Germany. Add to that the disappearance of her six-year old daughter Julia and you have the recipe for tension. Or to put it mathematically, add one part Panic Room, one part The Forgotten, and one part Red Eye, and you get Flight Plan.
Fortunately, the acting in the film is pretty good. The tension mounts with well-shot scenes that provide information but leave the audience guessing about the ‘whole’ truth. Does Pratt have a living daughter or a dead one? And if you believe that she’s not crazy, then who is out to deceive her and what is the point?
Can you stick to your beliefs even when circumstances seem to contradict them and everyone around you thinks your nuts? Aerospace engineer Kyle Pratt faces this test to the nth degree when her six-year-old daughter apparently goes missing midway through an overnight flight from Berlin to New York.
How could such a thing happen, you ask? Perhaps you’ve never been introduced to the E-474 aircraft...
How do we respond to someone in crisis? Even when we have all reason to treat someone badly, should we still uphold their dignity? These are the questions Flightplan raises, and in the movie, the answer to these questions is rather disappointing.
Flightplan stars Jodie Foster as Kyle, a mother who recently had lost her husband to a 'fall.' Because of his death, Foster is flying with her 6 year old daughter from Germany back to the United States, in order to bury the body. However, it is on this flight that things will take a drastic turn for the worse.
After Kyle (Foster) falls asleep for a couple of hours on the plane, her 6 year old daughter completely disappears. Kyle calmly begins checking the rest of the plane because her daughter had wandered off once before. But after a few minutes it becomes clear that Kyle is not going to find her daughter, that she has disappeared, and this starts a chain of events that lead to a thriller that raises basic moral questions that need to be answered.
