From director Wes Craven (the
"Scream" franchise) comes "Red Eye," a suspense thriller at 30,000 feet,
starring Rachel McAdams ("The Notebook," "Wedding Crashers") and Cillian Murphy
("Batman Begins," "28 Days Later").
Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) hates
to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing
to do with a fear of flying.
Upon boarding the plane, Lisa is pleasantly
surprised to find that she is seated next to Jackson (Cillian Murphy), the
seemingly charming man with whom she had shared a drink—and perhaps even a brief
flirtation—in the airport terminal. But moments after takeoff, Jackson drops his
façade and menacingly reveals the real reason he’s on board: He is an operative
in a plot to kill the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security...and Lisa is the
key to its success. If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed
by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson.
Trapped within the confines
of a jet at 30,000 feet, Lisa has nowhere to run and no way to summon help
without endangering her father, her fellow passengers and her own life. As the
miles tick by, Lisa knows she is running out of time as she desperately looks
for a way to thwart her ruthless captor and stop a terrible murder.
"Red
Eye" is directed by Wes Craven and produced by Chris Bender and Marianne
Maddalena. The executive producers are Bonnie Curtis, Jim Lemley, JC Spink and
Mason Novick. The screenplay was written by Carl Ellsworth from a story by
Ellsworth and Dan Foos. |
