The film trailer for Flight Plan was quite interesting: On board a state-of-the-art passenger plane (the largest), Kyle Pratt's (Jodie Foster) six-year-old daughter Julia goes missing while on their flight to New York from Berlin. Kyle just took a nap and when she woke up her daughter was gone – bags and all including her daughter's plane boarding pass. It’s as if her daughter never boarded the plane.

Kyle, who is still recovering from her husband’s death, now face the possibility that she has lost her marbles and that she was just imagining her daughter – specially when the flight crew discovers that her daughter was already dead.

We know at the beginning of the movie that Kyle Pratt has delusional tendencies. From the subway, she ‘imagines’ her (already dead) husband picking her up and taking her home. The question is – Is her daughter really missing or just a product of escapism and Pratt's being in denial?

Flight Plan is more satisfying than Foster’s 2004 movie The Forgotten which (strangely) also involves her loosing her daughter and no one remembering about it. It was fun to watch while the mystery was still there but people will expect a much more complicated turnaround.

It was a laugh-out-loud moment when the plane cabin lights went out and this huge white guy immediately went pouncing the nearest Arab in sight.
