Flight Risk is a suspense thriller written by Jared Rosenberg and directed by Mel Gibson.

Wahlberg plays Daryl, a pilot transporting Madolyn (Dockery), an Air Marshal accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to trial.

"As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem," an official description reads.

The trailer shows Dockery and Wahlberg clash at high altitudes after Wahlberg's character attempts to take Dockery's hostage mid-flight.

Flight Risk opens in theaters Oct. 18.

The film marks Gibson's first project as a director since 2016's Hacksaw Ridge. Gibson also directed Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto.
