Flightplan

Details

Starring Jodie Foster in one of her finest performances to date and with a compelling plot overflowing with intrigue and suspense, Flightplan will be the must-see thriller of the year when it touches down on DVD and UMD on 20th March 2006 from Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Combining emotional performances with edge-of-the-seat action, Flightplan creates a psychological thriller that will keep audiences guessing until the very end.

The action takes place on board a state-of-the-art American Aalto E-474. This larger than life plane is spacious enough to act as a maze in which a young child disappears yet small enough to exude a claustrophobic atmosphere as the mystery unfolds. Jodie Foster, winner of two Oscars for Best Actress (Silence of the Lambs and The Accused) and winner of four BAFTA Awards, stars as Kyle Pratt.

Flightplan follows the leading lady as she faces every mother's worst nightmare as her six-year-old daughter vanishes on board a flight from Berlin to America. Foster's performance will leave you gasping throughout the journey; from take off to landing her compelling and heart-felt performance demands your attention. A top-flight supporting crew, including Sean Bean as the calm and in-control pilot and rising star Peter Sarsgaard as the captivating and sinister air marshall, make this an unmissable experience.

The in-flight entertainment includes a host of thrilling extras that will leave even seasoned travellers enthused and captivated. Amongst the exciting bonus features is 'In-Flight Movie - The Making of Flightplan' which explores the visual effects of the film and the informative Captain's Greeting by the director Robert Schwentke himself. The vast and intricate design of the aircraft, which includes several levels, huge cargos and lounges can be explored in 'Cabin Pressure: Designing The Aalto E-474'.

Synopsis

Jodie Foster plays Kyle Pratt, a recently widowed aircraft designer who must fly her and her daughter back from Berlin to America in order to bury her late husband. When she awakes from a much-needed nap, she realises to her horror that her six-year-old daughter Julia is missing. Kyle initially thinks her daughter may have wandered off, but mild panic turns to full-scale hysteria when after an exhaustive search Julia is nowhere to be found on the plane.

More worryingly, it emerges that Julia was never even registered as a passenger on the flight. With no one on board confirming that they had seen her, the audience is left guessing as to whether this is all a figment of Kyle's strained state of mind. Tense action follows as Kyle must rely on her own instincts to save herself and find her daughter.
