Accountant Winston sits in the Igloo Motel in Alaska, warming his Cup Noodles in the microwave. He jumps when something taps on his window. He peeks out of the curtain and sighs when he sees a moose. Then, U.S. Marshals burst through the door. Deputy Madolyn Harris arrests Winston, and he requests an immunity deal to become a state’s witness against his boss, Moretti.
Madolyn escorts a handcuffed Winston onto a private plane. He complains about the accommodations, but Madolyn ignores him. The pilot, Daryl, jovially boards the plane. He states that he typically boards the plane before the passengers, but Madolyn says they boarded first for safety. Daryl lifts the plane off the ground and flies through the air. Winston sits behind them as Daryl makes small talk.
Madolyn asks for an ETA for their landing, and Daryl tells her to put on her headphones so they can talk. As Madolyn and Daryl converse, Winston sees a pilot’s I.D. under the seat. He moves it with his foot and sees Daryl’s name with another man’s face. He tries to warn Madolyn, but she can’t hear him with her headphones on. So Winston bites off his button and spits it at her. She removes her headphones and talks to Winston but doesn’t heed his warning.
Madolyn sees blood on Daryl and remembers suspicious things he said. She reaches for his gun, but he chokes her until she is unconscious. He plans on killing them slowly for Moretti. Daryl doesn’t see Madolyn wake up and grab her taser. She shocks Daryl until he is incapacitated. She uncuffs Winston’s ankles so he can help her restrain Daryl. They look through Daryl’s pockets and find sheets of paper. The papers contain pictures of Winston, Madolyn, and the home of Winston’s mother. Winston recalls he only told one person his mother’s address. Madolyn deduces that there is a mole in the U.S. Marshal’s office. She has to land the plane with a fugitive witness, a psychopath, and low fuel while investigating the mole. Also, Madolyn doesn’t know how to fly. Can she save her witness, or will they all die?
This movie provides action and suspense with a dash of inappropriate humor. Winston, Madolyn, and Daryl are the main characters, but Madolyn talks to several people on her satellite phone. This banter helps the audience unpack the mystery. Also, Daryl uses his information to play with Winston and Madolyn’s minds because both have secrets. The tight space makes fight scenes challenging, but the actors pull it off. However, some shots lose continuity to save time. This film is the correct length for the plot but leaves the ending open for more. Flight Risk is a solid matinee movie.
