Storyline

This is the story of a young resourceful heroine woman named Lisa Reisert who hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with a fear of flying! Upon boarding the plane, Lisa is trapped on a red-eye flight with a creepy villainous handsome and charming man by the name of Jackson Rippner, who's playing middle-man in the plot to assassinate a Homeland Security official. He's got her father pinned down by a would-be killer, using that advantage to coerce Lisa into phoning the luxury resort where she works and arranging to move the target into a pre-set position. Written by Anthony Pereyra <hypersonic91@yahoo.com>

Goofs

Factual errors: Although the airplane interior is a "standard" Boeing 767 layout (2-3-2), row 18 is shown too far back in the plane. The row used in film should be numbered closer to 30 or so as these rows are closest to the back of the plane and the rear galley. See more »
