A crash landing turns into a hostage drama on a desert island. The thrilling action film Plane with Gerard Butler won over audiences, but is still far too unknown in this country
In Plane, Jean-François Richet skillfully stages two tough action stars. Gerard Butler has already made several successful films in this genre and Mike Colter was also able to prove his action qualities in the Marvel series Luke Cage. The two make a strong duo in Plane, which was released at the beginning of 2023.
Plane was surprisingly well received. This can be seen, for example, in the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes . Both critics (78 percent) and audiences (94 percent) gave Plane a positive rating. If you missed the movie, you can watch it again in the home cinema version, which contains additional features in the bonus material
Plane is available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray in addition to the limited 4K Steelbook. Alternatively, the action film starring Gerard Butler can also be purchased or rented on Amazon Prime Video
Surprise hit Plane to get a sequel
In Germany, Plane unfortunately flew under the radar and failed to make a lasting impression at the box office. Nevertheless, the 25 million dollar production was a success. Plane was able to earn 74.5 million US dollars worldwide (via Box Office Mojo ). Just one month after its release, it was announced that Mike Colter would be reprising his role in a sequel. This time, the movie will be set on a ship, and how could it be otherwise? Since the announcement, however, there has been no new information about the status of production
