Josh Hartnett Takes Audiences on a Very Bumpy Ride in New 'Fight or Flight' Image [Exclusive] -

Do you like action at 37,000 feet? We do, too. That’s why we’re thrilled to tell you a bit more about Fight or Flight, one of the summer’s most intriguing prospects, which stars a resurgent Josh Hartnett as an exiled American agent given an unenviable task aboard a Transpacific flight between Bangkok and San Francisco. As part of Collider’s Exclusive Preview event, we’re unveiling an exclusive new image highlighting the carnage and chaos aboard one very bumpy ride. The film is directed by James Madigan and written by Brooks McLaren & DJ Cotrona.

We are suckers for an action movie set within a mode of transport. Yes, that sounds like a very niche category, but think about the legacy of movies like that — Air Force One, Unstoppable, Non-Stop, Bullet Train, and Snakes on a Plane — the list is endless. This summer, a new contender enters the playing field, and we think you’re going to love it. In our exclusive look at the movie, we see Hartnett’s Lucas Reyes, dressed in some very comfortable first-class pyjamas, armed with a champagne bottle. How does he end up in that outfit? Let’s just say one trip to the bathroom goes awry for one bad guy.

What Is ‘Fight or Flight’ About?

We’ve seen the movie here, and it is as riotously entertaining as you might imagine. Want to know more? Here’s the full synopsis:

“Exiled American agent Lucas Reyes is given one last chance to redeem himself – the assignment is to track down and identify a mysterious, international high-value asset known only as The Ghost on a flight from Bangkok to San Francisco. Complicating matters, the plane is filled with assassins from around the world who are assigned to kill them both. The pair must work together in a fight for their lives. At 37,000 feet, the stakes have never been higher.”

And it’s not just us who love the film. To date, Fight or Flight — which has been available to watch in the United Kingdom for some time already — sits at an enviable 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, which just proves how enjoyable the midair massacre of bad guys truly is. The full cast of Fight or Flight includes Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) as Katherine Brunt, Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton) as Isha, Marko Zaror (John Wick: Chapter 4) as Chayenne, Julian Kostov (Triumph) as Aaron Hunter, and Rebecka Johnston as Rebecca, while producers include Tai Duncan, Basil Iwanyk, Chris Milburn, and Erica Lee.

Fight or Flight premieres in the U.S. on May 9, so fasten your seatbelts and prepare for turbulence. Keep checking back throughout the week as we debut exclusive looks at the hottest summer releases.
