Known Trivia

• Olivia Wilde and Dominique McElligott were considered for the role of Nicole.


• Reunites Denzel Washington and John Goodman, who worked together in Fallen.


• Robert Zemeckis’ first live-action movie since Cast Away.


• The story depicted closely resembles real-life events occurred in 2001, when Canadian Captain Robert Piche skillfully glided a fuel-less Airbus 330 to a safe landing, saving 306 passengers from a certain crash. Becoming an overnight hero, he quickly learned the other side of fame when a journalist exposed his long forgotten criminal past and private life. However the plane never flew inverted. The film mirrors his life story, not the events of the landing


• This is the first R-rated film to be directed by Robert Zemeckis’ since Used Cars and only the second R-rated film he has directed overall (as of September 2012).


• According to producers Steve Starkey and Jack Rapke (during a Q&A session with the Producers’ Guild on October 18th, 2012), the primary airplane in the film is a pastiche of several existing commercial airliners so as to not ID a particular plane or airline in the film. Also, no promotional consideration was paid by any of the alcohol brands featured in the movie; they decided to feature beer, wine and hard liquor brands for one shot only so as not to “endorse” any of them.

Plot: An airline pilot saves a flight from crashing, but an investigation into the malfunctions reveals something troubling. |  »
