The upcoming film directed by Jean-François Richet (Assault on Precinct 13) follows commercial pilot Brodie Torrance (Butler), who after a heroic job of successfully landing his storm-damaged aircraft in hostile territory, finds himself threatened by militant pirates who are planning to take the plane and its passengers hostage.
