From IMDB:

An air marshal springs into action during a transatlantic flight after receiving a series of text messages demanding $150 million into an off-shore account, or someone will die every 20 minutes.

At the conclusion of this film I had no fingernails remaining. Talk about suspense! Clever and inventive plot, a team of well-known actors, and some human interest make this particular airplane film worth watching. Moreover, the post-ending was not too maudlin.

• Liam Neeson plays Bill Marks the federal air marshal on board.
• Julianne Moore is Jen Summers who supports Bill despite the plot to make him look guilty.
• Corey Stoll (Rep. Peter Russo in “House of Cards”) was the cop Austin Reilly.
• Linus Roache (King Ecbert in “Vikings”) was head pilot David McMillan.
• Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary Crawley in “Downton Abbey”) was the stewardess Nancy.

Certainly this thriller is better than my all time favorite “Snakes on a Plane”.
