Directed by Mel Gibson, the thriller will hit theaters Jan. 24
Mark Wahlberg plays an unhinged, balding hitman masquerading as a chatty helicopter pilot in a new trailer for Mel Gibson's upcoming thriller, Flight Risk.
The film also stars Michelle Dockery, an Air Marshal escorting a nervous fugitive — played by Topher Grace — to New York City, where he stands to testify against the head of a crime family. But the friendly, smooth-talking pilot who is tasked with flying the duo over the Alaskan wilderness, is actually an assassin-for-hire whose mission is to take out the witness at all costs.
“Tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem,” reads the film's log line.
Flight Risk hits theaters Jan. 24, pushed back from its original Oct. 18 premiere.
Directed by Gibson, it marks the 68-year-old's return to the director's chair after the acclaim he received for Hacksaw Ridge in 2016, which earned him Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Picture.
