Flightplan (2005)


After watching Panic Room thought I'd watch Flightplan, starring Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Sean Bean, directed by Robert Schwentke and written by Peter A. Dowling and Billy Ray.
Kyle Pratt (Foster) is a bereaved woman who with her 8-year old daughter are flying home from Berlin to America with the body of her late husband, when at 30,000 her daugher disappears and no one remembers ever seeing her board the plane, Kyle must discover the truth as she fights to serach the plane and look for her daughter.

The film begins with Klye Pratt at the train station where it then cuts to her entering a mortuary and she is asked if she would like a moment alone before the casket is closed. We are taken back to Kyle at the train station where her husband arrives and the leave on the train, again we are taken to the mortuary where we see Kyle move closer to the casket. We then see Kyle and her husabnd walking through the streets of Germany before we are again taken to the mortuary, where the Mortuary Director asks Kyle to enter a code to secure the casket. Fiannly we get to the appartment of Kyle and her husband when she asks to sit in the yard when we cut to the mortuary where before the casket is closed we see that her husband is lying in the casket.

From this small extract we can see that the protagonist has a flaw and there will have to be moral choices that the charagter has to make. The opening sequence can be seen below.
