Plane, the 2023 action-packed thriller starring Gerard Butler, has become a streaming hit. It currently ranks #4 on Starz in the United States, with audiences praising its gripping storyline and intense action.
The film has a 79% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, but viewers have rated it even higher, awarding it an impressive 94% on the Popcornmeter.
Directed by Jean-François Richet and written by Charles Cumming and J.P. Davis, Plane follows pilot Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) and convict Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter) as they fight to survive on a war-torn island.
After a daring emergency landing, the passengers are taken hostage by rebels, forcing Torrance to team up with Gaspare in a high-stakes rescue mission.
The cast includes Daniella Pineda, Yoson An, and Remi Adeleke, among others. Critics and audiences alike have praised the movie for its thrilling action and strong performances.
Following the success of Plane, a sequel titled Ship is now in development. This follow-up will focus on Mike Colter’s character, Louis Gaspare, as he escapes from Jolo Island and stows away on a cargo ship bound for South Africa. The ship, however, hides a dark secret — it’s part of a human trafficking operation.
Director Jean-François Richet will serve as an executive producer for Ship, while Gerard Butler’s involvement remains uncertain. Fans are hopeful for a cameo from the action star.
With Plane soaring on streaming and a sequel on the horizon, Gerard Butler’s action legacy continues to grow.
