Fight or Flight

On a crowded transcontinental flight a skilled mercenary is hired to seize a high value target aboard the plane. What seems like a clean extraction quickly spirals into a life or death scramble when violence erupts and the hunter has to pivot into protector. The target is not the only threat; a lurking group closes in from the cabin and above, forcing the mercenary to shield a female passenger who carries information that could topple powerful interests. In the cramped aisles and pressurized cabin, the two must improvise, outwit their pursuers, and survive until landing. Time grows tighter and every choice could tilt the odds toward safety or catastrophe.

Directed by James Madigan Fight or Flight is based on an original screenplay by Brooks McLaren and D J Cotrona. Released in 2025, it brings Madigan's brisk action sensibility to a high altitude thriller.
