Gerard Butler is back in an upcoming action-thriller film “Plane” from French director Jean-François Richet.

In the film, Butler plays a pilot who is faced with protecting his passengers in the aftermath of a crash landing on an island. “No need to worry, folks, these planes are pretty much indestructible,” Butler says as a plane race through its path in the air.

The movie is based on Charles Cumming’s book and also stars, Mike Colter, Yoson An, Daniella Pineda, Paul Ben-Victor, Remi Adeleke, Joey Slotnick, Evan Dane Taylor, Claro de los Reyes, and Tony Goldwyn.

Here’s the film’s synopsis:
In the white-knuckle action movie PLANE, pilot Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) saves his passengers from a lightning strike by making a risky landing on a war-torn island – only to find that surviving the landing was just the beginning. When most of the passengers are taken hostage by dangerous rebels, the only person Torrance can count on for help is Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter), an accused murderer who was being transported by the FBI. In order to rescue the passengers, Torrance will need Gaspare’s help, and will learn there’s more to Gaspare than meets the eye.
