**Los Angeles, CA** – A new trailer for Mel Gibson’s suspense thriller, “Flight Risk,” has dropped, offering a glimpse into the high-stakes drama unfolding in the Alaskan wilderness. The film, starring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace, was originally slated for an October release but will now land in theaters on January 25th, 2025.
The trailer showcases a tense standoff aboard a plane, featuring Wahlberg as air marshal Daryl Booth and Dockery as his counterpart. Their mission is complicated by the presence of Topher Grace’s character, Winston, a self-proclaimed government witness who quickly realizes the pilot is someone he recognizes. The ensuing chaos involves knives, gunplay, and plenty of physical conflict as trust erodes and the true identities of the passengers are called into question.
Gibson directs from a script by Jared Rosenberg, producing alongside John Davis, John Fox, and Bruce Davey. The film is a collaboration between Davis Entertainment Company, Icon, Media Capital Technologies, Hammerstone Studios, and Blue Rider Media, and will be distributed by Lionsgate. While the MPA rating is still pending, the studio is clearly betting on a thrilling winter release for this action-packed suspense thriller.
