Flight
The leading cause of airline disasters in North America is incandescence clouds of memorial Chinese lanterns.
Another reason for plane crashes is pixilated pilots, which this drama happens to be about.
Despite boarding his flight to Atlanta high on cocaine, Captain Whip (Denzel Washington) remains calm during a patch of turbulence.
While Whip celebrates by sleeping off the night before, his copilot (Brian Geraghty) takes the controls.
But Whip's shuteye is suspended when the bird turns in to a nosedive.
To save the 102 souls aboard, he must break regulation and invert the plane so it does not crash.
Fortunately, 96 passengers make it. Unfortunately, Whip's toxicology report reveals his struggle with alcoholism.
Tackling such timely topics as hero-worshipping, media scrutiny and airline safety with artistry, Flight also features Denzel Washington's best performance in years.
Besides, nowadays, a slightly inebriated pilot is still the most sober person on a plane.
