A woman is forced to prove her own sanity to save the life of her daughter in this taut thriller. Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster) is a successful aircraft designer who has recently been dealing with the traumatic death of her husband. After traveling to Berlin on business with her six-year-old daughter, Julia (Marlene Lawston), Kyle falls asleep on their flight back to New York, only to discover that her daughter has gone missing. While not knowing where Julia has gone is troubling enough, even more disturbing is the insistence by sky marshal Gene Carson (Peter Sarsgaard) and Captain Rich (Sean Bean) that no records indicate that the child ever boarded the jet. As Kyle becomes increasingly desperate to find her daughter, she must prove to the men in charge that her daughter did in fact board the plane with her, and that this turn of events is not a product of her imagination. But if Julia has gone missing, who has taken her and why? Also starring Erika Christensen and Kate Beahan, Flightplan was the first English-language feature from German director Robert Schwentke. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Worth watching, worth thinking about, great performances by Foster and Bean, even if there are some holes in the storyline. Some powerful social messages in there. Above all, what a strong mother figure, I am proud that Foster did this film. I just want to point out that if you are reading through these reviews you will notice that a good majority of the females rating this movie liked it, and a good majority of the male reviewers did not... The funny thing is that this is NOT a chick flick, it is a suspenseful, strongly moving story of a brilliant (aeronautics engineer) and courageous mother who will stop at nothing to save her daughter; on top of that she is quite alone, surrounded by average, everyday people who very realistically do nothing at all to help her!

I enjoyed this movie. The plot was predictable, but really what movie plot isn't. As far as movies go, this one kept my attention. I would definitely watch it again.
