Kyle Pratt (Foster) is heading from Berlin to New York on a red eye flight with her daughter. She, along with her daughter Julia (Lawston), are taking her husband's dead body with her on a large plane that she helped to design. She falls asleep, and when she wakes up, over the Atlantic Ocean, she discovers her daughter is missing. A calm look around the plane quickly decends into mania as Julia is no where to be found. With the help of Carson (Saarsgaard), an air marshall, she begins a more thorough search only to find that no one remembers her with a little girl. In fact, Julia may just be in Kyle's imagination.

Jodie Foster carries this movie. It is hers all the way, and she is a good part of what makes it work. Unfortunately, what will make or break the movie for most viewers is their acceptance of the explanation behind Julia's disappearance. I find that it is a stretch, but still works. Peter Saarsgaard, Sean Bean, and Kate Beahan all give good supporting performances that are all key to the developments of the story. "Flightplan" is an extertaining suspense movie that is worth seeing.
