Spoilers ahead
Max Klein, Jeff Bridges, survives an airline crash. The plane plummets, but he remains unnervingly calm, a steadiness that seems to ease the fear in the cabin. He sits beside Byron Hummel, a young boy flying alone, while flight attendants move through the chaos and instruct Carla Rodrigo, Rosie Perez, who is traveling with an infant, to cradle the child and buckle into her seat as the fuselage shudders. Earlier, Max had been confiding in his business partner Jeff Gordon, John de Lancie, about his fear of flying as they took off.
