Is there anything quite as thrilling as an airplane action movie? The mere concept of characters soaring at 30,000 feet amps up the suspense, leaving them with nowhere to flee—after all, jumping out isn’t exactly a soft landing! The confined space and strict air travel etiquette (yes, please don’t shoot the fuselage) adds to the intensity. Personally, I lean toward the more extravagant side of this genre, favoring entertainment over realism. And let me tell you, my review of Fight or Flight shows this film was right up my alley!
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the film’s cast and director to dive deep into what makes Fight or Flight such a rollercoaster experience. Josh Hartnett revealed the layers he crafted for his character that we might not fully see on-screen. Not to be overlooked, Katee Sackhoff shared her thoughts on what sets her character apart from the typical fare—a nod to her impressive background in genre storytelling. Charithra Chandran also gave a hint about the pivotal moment in the script that sealed her commitment to the project (let’s just say, it involves a jaw-dropping twist!). And director James Madigan discussed the adrenaline-pumping action sequences that flow seamlessly, made possible by Hartnett’s impressive grasp of the fight choreography. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this interview brimming with energy!
Fight or Flight tells a gripping story:
Lucas Reyes (played by Josh Hartnett) is a disgraced American agent who’s handed one last glimmer of hope—to track down an enigmatic high-value target known only as The Ghost on a flight from Bangkok to San Francisco. The tension skyrockets when the plane turns out to be filled with assassins determined to eliminate them both. As they race against time and threats, the duo must navigate the chaos together, proving that at 37,000 feet, the stakes have never been greater.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT HITS THEATERS ON MAY 9TH, 2025.
