CriticsCritics: 77
AudienceAudience: 7.2

A commercial pilot with a serious substance problem makes a miraculous emergency landing after a mechanical failure sends his plane into a dive. Celebrated as a hero, he faces intense scrutiny when investigators examine his conduct and personal life, forcing him to confront the consequences of his addiction.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a tense, character-driven drama about addiction, accountability, and redemption, with strong acting and bursts of dark humor; Not for you if you want nonstop action or a purely uplifting story.
