Idris Elba stars as the lead in this TV thriller. Watching it gave me echoes of classic plane films like Air Force One, Executive Decision and Passenger 57. The use of time also seems like it'll be using a similar narrative structure to the Keifer Sutherland TV classic 24. I'm sure they'll be a few twists and turns in this with not only the people on the plane but also the people on the ground.
