Flight Plan * * * *

The local video store was totally out of these (and they had at least 100 copies)for the first week it was released. I saw the previews, a woman on a flight loses her daughter. I couldn't see how they could make this into a feature film. WOW, was I wrong. Jodi Foster seems to pick these intense story lines. This begins in Berlin, a bereaved wife claiming her husbands body at the funeral home to return New York for burial. She is a "propulsion" engineer, designing jet engines for the new super jet liners that will be in our future. It is one of these 450 passenger liners that will carry her, her 6yr old daughter and her husband's coffin home to New York. Once aboard, she decides to take advantage of some empty seats in the rear of the plane to get some sleep. She wakes up a couple hours later, and her daughter is gone. She enlists the help of the flight attendants, but something is terribly wrong.... her daughter is not on the manifest, there is no record of her boarding... What is real, did we see the daughter or was it her imagination?

This is a nailbiting, intense plot with twists and turns that will pull you in like a roller coaster. Two words....SEE IT!
