Screen great Denzel Washington (Training Day, Inside Man) stars in this riveting and powerful thriller masterfully directed by legendary filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Cast Away). Airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Washington) miraculously lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe. While the world begs to embrace him as a true American Hero, the everyman struggles with this label as he is forced to hold up to the scrutiny of an investigation that brings into question his behavior the night before the doomed flight. Action-packed and engrossing, Flight soars with a mesmerizing performance by Washington in what The Hollywood Reporter hails as "one of his meatiest, most complex roles," and a first-rate cast that includes Don Cheadle, Kelly Reilly, John Goodman, Bruce Greenwood and Melissa Leo.
