Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington stars in this "riveting and powerful nail-biting thriller1" from Robert Zemeckis, the Academy Award®-winning director of Forrest Gump and Cast Away. Airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Washington) miraculously lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe. But even as he's being hailed for his heroic efforts, questions arise as to who or what was really at fault. Action-packed, engrossing and powerful, Washington's performance is being hailed as "a triumph 2" and one that "will be talked about for years.3" 1 Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood, 2 Richard Corliss, TIME, 3 Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.
