UB Spotlight: Mark Wahlberg Talks ‘Flight Risk’ | In Theaters

Written by Jared Rosenberg, “Flight Risk” is in theaters now via Lionsgate.

Directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, Topher Grace and Michelle Dockery.

In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg plays a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (Michelle Dockery) accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to trial.

As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.

A thrilling and propulsive mix of high-octane action and psychological warfare aboard a small aircraft as it soars above the majestic vistas of the Alaskan terrain, “Flight Risk” opens as mob accountant Winston (Grace) is captured by U.S. Deputy Marshal Madolyn (Dockery) at a seedy motel.

The next day, after Madolyn ushers Winston aboard the aircraft that will transport them to Anchorage – and ultimately the trial at which the newly minted government witness will testify – Winston complains endlessly at being shackled in his seat.

A respite from Winston’s non-stop barbs – albeit a temporary one – is provided by the arrival of their pilot, Daryl (Wahlberg), a folksy, eager-to-please veteran who says he’s done this run many times before.

But soon after takeoff, Winston spots a pilot’s license on the floor that will change the course of their flight – and their lives.

Cast includes; Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace.

Executive Producers; Alex Lebovici, Jenny Hinkey, Vicki Christianson, Nick Guerra, Paul J. Diaz, Petr Ja?kl, Russell Hollander, Jon Huddle, Patrick Josten, Walter Josten, Jarrett Mahoney, Christopher Woodrow, K. Blaine Johnston, Ryan Donnell Smith, Natasha Stassen, and Allen Cheney.
