Flightplan
Flightplan is a 2005 mystery psychological thriller film directed by Robert Schwentke from a screenplay written by Peter A. Dowling and Billy Ray. It stars Jodie Foster as Kyle Pratt, a recently widowed American aircraft engineer living in Berlin, who flies back to the U.S. with her daughter and her husband's body. She loses her daughter during the flight and must struggle to find her while proving her sanity at the same time. It also features Peter Sarsgaard, Erika Christensen, Kate Beahan, Greta Scacchi, Sean Bean, and Matt Bomer in his film debut.
Distributed by Touchstone Pictures and released theatrically on September 23, 2005, the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the direction, performances of the cast (particularly Foster's), and the thriller elements of the film but criticized the screenplay. It was also a major commercial success, grossing over $223 million worldwide against a $55 million budget, and received two nominations at the 32nd Saturn Awards; Best Action or Adventure Film, and Best Actress (for Foster).
Recently widowed Berlin-based American aviation engineer Kyle Pratt is taking her husband David's body back to the US. Travelling with their 6-year-old daughter Julia, they board a new double-decker aircraft Kyle helped design.
Awakening from a nap, Kyle finds Julia is gone, and no one recalls seeing her. Flight attendant Stephanie tells her there is no record of her daughter boarding the flight, and Julia's boarding pass and backpack are missing.
At a panicked Kyle's insistence, Captain Marcus Rich conducts a search, while sky marshal Gene Carson monitors her. Kyle accuses two Arab passengers of stalking her daughter the night before, resulting in a fight and her being handcuffed.
Kyle reveals that her husband died in an apparent fall from the roof of a building, though she suspects it was not a suicide. Captain Rich receives a message from a Berlin hospital that Julia died with her father, so is convinced that Kyle, unhinged by her husband's and daughter's deaths, imagined bringing her on board. The increasingly erratic Kyle is confined to her seat, where a therapist, Lisa, consoles her. Kyle doubts her own sanity until she notices the heart Julia drew in the condensation on the window next to her seat.
Kyle asks to use the bathroom, where she climbs into the overhead crawl space, sabotaging the aircraft's electronics. In the ensuing chaos, she rides a dumbwaiter to the lower freight deck and unlocks David's casket, suspecting Julia to be inside, but finds only her husband's body. Carson escorts Kyle to her seat in handcuffs, and explains the flight is making an emergency stopover at Goose Bay Airport, in Newfoundland and Labrador, where she will be taken into custody.
Kyle pleads with Carson to search the hold. He sneaks down to the freight deck, removing two explosives and a detonator concealed in David's casket, and planting the explosives in the avionics section. It is revealed that Carson, Stephanie, and the Berlin mortuary director have conspired to hijack the aircraft for a $50 million ransom and frame Kyle; they abducted Julia to coerce Kyle into unlocking the casket. Carson also falsely claims to Rich that Kyle is threatening to bomb the aircraft unless the ransom is wired to a bank account and a G3 aircraft is readied upon landing. He then plans to detonate the explosives, killing Julia, and leave Kyle dead with the detonator in her hand.
