Movie Info

Airplane travel is a precarious thing at best, and despite the billions of miles traveled safely, the notion of being trapped in a thin metal shell miles above the ground with someone who deliberately imperils lives never fails to chill. In this thriller, serial killer Ryan Weaver (Ray Liotta) gets loose in the plane which is taking him to prison. Suicidal, he manages to kill or incapacitate the pilot, copilot and navigator, only to have his death wish thwarted by the brave actions of flight

R, 1 hr. 40 min.

Fasten your seat belts, folks. It's going to be a cliche-cluttered ride.

About the best thing that can be said about Turbulence is that you're unlikely to encounter it as an in-flight movie.

Lame, lousy, horrid. No wonder Jim divorced Lauren.

Bad in the most amusing way possible. Ray Liotta turns the ham factor up to 11 and then some more with his craptastic performance. He's in full Nic Cage mode here.

One of the best plane-thrillers out there. It's worth watching for Ray Liotta's enjoyably maniacal performance alone. Lots of nail-biting and edge-of-your-seat moments from catagory-6 storms, dead pilots and Liotta terrorizing Lauren Holly all over the plane. Very entertaining stuff!
