The 2023 action-thriller film titled “Plane,” featuring Gerard Butler and Mike Colter, has once again climbed to the top of streaming rankings. At this moment, it has surpassed other movies such as “The Wild Robot,” “Sing 2,” and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” to claim the #1 position on Peacock’s Top 10 in the U.S., according to FlixPatrol. It appears that an increasing number of viewers are becoming fans of “Plane,” as it initially premiered on Starz at the beginning of the year, demonstrating a demand for its sequel.
Initially premiered in cinemas on January 13, 2023, the movie “Plane” continues to enthrall viewers even two years later, now streaming instead of on the big screen. The narrative revolves around a thrilling adventure that tests survival and suspense, following a commercial pilot named Brodie Torrance (played by Butler) who forms an unconventional alliance with a suspected killer named Louis Gaspare (portrayed by Colter). Stranded in a war-torn island after an emergency landing, the passengers of the aircraft are held hostage in hostile territory. The duo must work together to save them.
The movie titled “Plane” earned a total of $74.5 million globally at the box office, spending only $25 million to produce. It generally received favorable feedback, garnering a 79% approval from critics and a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter. The general audience consensus is that it offers “lots of enjoyable action despite the implausible plot,” making it a source of good old-fashioned entertainment. MovieWeb critic Julian Roman, in his review, concurred with this assessment and further commended Butler’s portrayal as the lead character, stating that he brings authenticity to every situation, possessing both an emotional depth and weightiness, along with a commanding physical presence.
‘Plane’ Is Getting a Sequel Called ‘Ship’
As a cinephile, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming sequel to “Plane,” titled “Ship.” Just like the title hints, this new adventure will unfold on the high seas instead of the skies. The original director, Jean-François Richet, will be back as an executive producer, ensuring a continuity of style and quality.
Picking up right where “Plane” left off, we’ll follow our protagonist, the misunderstood killer Colter, who finds himself in more trouble than ever. He’s not just navigating stormy seas literally, but also figuratively as he takes control of a fishing boat to flee the Philippines. However, his escape route proves to be far from safe when he discovers that the boat is embroiled in human trafficking.
Here’s the full synopsis: In “Ship,” Colter continues his journey, now aboard a seemingly innocent fishing boat, only to uncover its sinister involvement in human trafficking. The story unfolds as he grapples with his past and fights against the ruthless criminals operating on this floating prison, all while trying to escape their clutches.
Having survived an intense confrontation with the local militia along Jolo’s coastline and seized a fishing boat to flee the Philippines, I find myself far from safe. The global attention on Flight 119 has turned me into a wanted man, sparking an international manhunt. In an attempt to avoid the limelight and distance myself from my last known whereabouts, I seize an opportunity aboard a cargo ship in East Asia, headed for South Africa. However, as I prepare for a long journey, I uncover a chilling secret: this ocean vessel is not just transporting goods; it’s also serving as a cover for a human trafficking operation.
It’s undecided whether Butler will rejoin the project, possibly in a minor part, but if he does, it would be a pity to miss him given that Plane was one of his most acclaimed films. If he can find the time amidst his busy schedule, that is. In the last decade alone, the actor has been involved in an impressive 24 movies, and four more are set for release in 2025, including Den of Thieves: Pantera, which premiered in cinemas in January and debuted digitally just three weeks later.
