Mark Wahlberg takes a sinister turn in Gibson's high-altitude thriller
Mark Wahlberg played the lead role in the film "Flight Risk," which was directed by Mel Gibson. The 53-year-old actor will portray the character of a psychopathic pilot, Daryl Booth. He has openly expressed that he had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time.
The film "Flight Risk" is the first thriller directed by Mel Gibson. In this film, we see an agent (Michelle Dockery) escort a witness in a mafia trial (Topher Grace), travelling in a small plane over the Alaskan mountains.
With a small crew onboard, consisting of Agent Harris, the handcuffed witness, and the pilot (Mark Wahlberg), this flight is meant to be the most straightforward way to bring the witness to court.
Everything seems to go according to plan until an unexpected incident occurs over the icy terrain. This is when it becomes apparent that not everyone in the cabin is who they claim to be. It quickly becomes clear that the long arms of the mafia boss reach even here, at this height above sea level.

A dramatic struggle for control of the plane unfolds. In this high-stakes situation, only one person on the mission is capable of properly piloting the aircraft. Adding to the tension, fighter jets are on high alert, ready to shoot down the plane if Agent Harris cannot regain control in time. The situation is further intensified as the aircraft flies into storm clouds.
The film "Flight Risk" premiere will take place on January 24, 2025.
