'Flightplan' a thriller with action and drama

“Flightplan” is an action/drama thriller that is rated PG-13 for violence and some intense plot material. The movie stars Jodie Foster as Kyle, a recently-widowed mother who is taking her daughter and her husband’s coffin (with him inside) to New York for a funeral and to start over.

Still upset over her husband’s apparent suicide and worrying about her daughter, Kyle takes a short nap on the plane. It’s only been about three hours since they left Germany when she wakes up to find her daughter’s seat empty. She looks everywhere and can’t find her. Kyle then starts acting like any mother would and freaks out. She won’t accept the fact that no one acknowledges seeing her daughter and there is no account of her daughter ever having been there.

Faced with the possibility of going to jail for upsetting other passengers, Kyle will not forget that she does indeed have a daughter and that her daughter was with her on the plane. She won’t let anyone tell her otherwise and is determined to find her child.
