10 Lies Movies Tell About Air Travel

And why the truth is way more comforting...


The Lie: That your child will be abducted and hidden as part of a plot to hold the airline hostage or else its shiny new plane will be destroyed.
 
The Liar:
Flightplan (2005) wants us to believe that the people usually to be found dishing out the headsets could conspire to dream up a plot that complicated.

Why you shouldn’t worry:

Look in the mirror. Are you Jodie Foster? Look over your shoulder, is David Fincher shouting orders at you? If the answer is no to both questions, then you’re fine, because this one is even more convoluted than zombies. If the answer is yes… Take a boat.

      What does Flightplan have to do with David Fincher? It's not as if Foster is in a lot of his movies, only Panic Room.

      Interesting list. The first time I flew was in the early 80's and while waiting to board I saw a group of nuns and I'm sure one of them was carrying a guitar. I almost didn't board because I was sure that George Kennedy would come through the door and we'd go down in the Rockies.

      That was a pretty good list except for the "Air Force One", Ray Liotta, and "Flightplan" ones. The accents in "Air Force One" were good, I don't know what you're talking about. Ray Liotta is a great actor, grant it he's in a lot of bad movies, but that doesn't mean he's bad. And what tconrad001 said, David Fincher has nothing to do with "Flightplan."
