Turbulence (2009 Film)

Turbulence is a 2009 thriller film remake of the 1997 film of the same name.

Plot
Following the vicious murders of three women, Raymond Weaver is arrested and charged, despite his constant pleas of innocence. During Christmas, he is to be transported to Los Angeles via a commerical flight aboard a Boeing 747 alongside four air mashals and another prisoner, Charlie.

During the flight, Charlie attempts to escape and engages in a shootout with the air marshals. Weaver manages to also escape while in the commotion, three of the marshals and killed by Charlie as well as the pilot, the co-pilot being wounded. Weaver tries to save the last marshal, who wounds Charlie, but fails. He then kills Charlie.

A flight attendant named Katy Callahan realises that she is the only one able to fly to plane due to the seriousness of the co-pilot's injuries, and to make matters worse, the plane is approaching a storm.

Weaver begins to loose his mind, attacking and strangling another flight attendant before locking the passengers in the crew's cabin. Katy gets in touch with the detective who arrested Weaver over the radio and realises that he is insane.

Katy's first attempt to land the plane goes badly wrong, scraping off of a tower. She begs the airport not to have the plane shot down, while the co-pilot takes the controls and the control tower begins to give him instructions. Suddenly, Weaver bursts into the cabin and shoots the co-pilot. As the plane being to lose control, Weaver attacks Katy and boasts that he murdered the women and killed all of the passengers. He then claims that he'll never be captured either because after he kills her he will crash the plane into a heavily-populated area of LA. Katy retrieves one of the marshal's guns and tries to shoot Weaver, but in the struggle she accidentally shoots out a window. Weaver is sucked out due to explosive cabin decrompression while Katy returns to the cockpit.

Katy finally manages to land the plane safely although it is a close call; the police then find the passengers alive, confirming their idea that Weaver was lying. Katy is congratulated for her bravery as she is placed in an ambulance and driven away.
