One of the first hit thrillers of 2025 was the film FLIGHT RISK. Taking place in Alaska with a small cast upon an airplane, the movie had a fairly successful box office run against its modest budget.

From IMDB: “A pilot transports an Air Marshal accompanying a fugitive to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.”

FLIGHT RISK was directed by actor Mel Gibson, his first since the Oscar nominated HACKSAW RIDGE (2016). The screenplay was written by Jared Rosenberg, and the film stars Michelle Dockery (DOWNTOWN ABBEY), Mark Wahlberg (THE FIGHTER), and Topher Grace (THAT 70’s SHOW). Getting mixed reviews, your co-hosts take a look to see if it was worthy of its box office and if it is considered a hidden gem.
