Writer J. Mills Goodloe ("The Age of Adeline"), working from the novel by Charles Martin, has created an adventure-filled drama for director Hany Abu-Assad ("The Idol") to bring to the big screen.
Part of his cast:
- Idris Elba ("Luther") Ben is frustrated that he can't perform a vital surgery at his destination because of a storm.
- Kate Winslet ("Collateral Beauty") Alex charters a plane so she can get to her own wedding on time.
- Beau Bridges ("Sordid Lives") Walter can't resist the temptation to help people get to their destination, even when the weather is marginal.
- Dermot Mulroney ("Shameless") Mark will always love Alex, even if she has been damaged.
This is PG-13, so you can expect a harrowing plane crash, mild sexuality and fairly bloodless injuries. This one won't be a box office smash, after all, there are no super heroes, but it is capably done.
