Commercial airline pilot Whip Whitaker is battling alcohol and drug addiction when his plane experiences a catastrophic mechanical malfunction during a flight from Orlando to Atlanta. With no other option, Whip executes an extraordinary crash landing that saves almost all on board but results in six fatalities. After waking up in the hospital, Whip vows to get sober, but his struggle with addiction becomes public knowledge as investigators discover he was intoxicated at the time of the crash. Facing potential criminal charges and desperate to protect his career and reputation, Whip denies his substance abuse problems while trying to maintain his composure during the investigation.
Riassunto
Directed by Robert Zemeckis in 2012, 'Flight' is a gripping drama-thriller centered around commercial airline pilot Whip Whitaker. The film explores themes of addiction, denial, and the consequences of one's actions through its portrayal of Whip's struggle with alcoholism and cocaine abuse leading up to an aviation disaster. After performing a miraculous crash landing that saves nearly all passengers, Whip's life spirals out of control as investigators reveal his intoxicated state during the fateful flight. The story builds tension around whether Whip can maintain his composure long enough for the NTSB investigation to conclude and whether he will eventually face criminal charges for his role in the crash.
