Flight Risk is a 2025 American action thriller film directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace.

Its plot follows a pilot (Wahlberg) transporting an Air Marshal (Dockery) and a fugitive (Grace) across the Alaskan wilderness, where the identities and intentions of those onboard come into question.

Marshal, arrests an accountant named Winston while he is hiding out in a remote part of Alaska after turning informant against his former employer, the Moretti crime family.

Madolyn charters a small private airplane to take them to Anchorage so they can transfer to New York City, where she intends for Winston to testify against the Morettis.

Madolyn begins to grow suspicious of Caroline when she seems reluctant to send help directly, so she gets in touch with Director Coleridge to explain her suspicions.

The pilot wakes up, shackled to the overhead rack, and taunts Winston, promising to make him suffer, as well as to kill his mother, whose address he knows.

Hasan, a pilot on the ground in Anchorage, calls Madolyn and teaches her how to use the controls of the plane; his tactic to keep her calm is to charm her and promise to take her for a drink when they land safely.

She is about to pass out when Winston removes the knife from his chest and cuts the belt, allowing Madolyn to shoot the pilot with a flare gun, incapacitating him at the back of the plane.

With Winston now in dire need of medical attention, Hasan guides Madolyn into landing the plane as quickly as possible by burning through their remaining fuel supply.

It was produced in association with Media Capital Technologies (a film financing company[10]), Hammerstone Studios and Blue Rider Pictures.

The website's consensus reads: "While there's a place for high-octane dumb fun, Flight Risk dives straight into unpleasant camp without a parachute.

"[26] In a mixed review, Wendy Ide of The Guardian praised Wahlberg's performance, calling it "enormous" and "pulpy fun", though she found the movie "diminished in terms of scope and ambition" compared to Gibson's other directorial efforts.
