John Cutter (Wesley Snipes) is a former policeman flying to Los Angeles to start his new job working for the anti-terrorism unit of a major airline. However, apprehended terrorist Charles Rane (Bruce Payne) is on the flight, too, being transported by the FBI. After Rane's accomplices kill the FBI agents and free him, Cutter realizes the entire flight is in danger. With the help of flight attendant Marti Slayton (Alex Datcher), Cutter tries to capture Rane and free the passengers.

Critics Consensus

Wesley Snipes tries to pilot Passenger 57 away from turbulence, but even he can't help this implausible couch-class action bomber from nose-diving.

The film that Passenger 57 would like to be when it grows up is Die Hard, not most people's idea of a grown-up film in the first place.

Passenger 57 is a lean but smart popcorn flick that blends a dash of social commentary with its high-kicking, high-altitude set pieces.

3/4

...a briskly paced (yet undeniably dated) thriller that's been jam-packed with exciting, memorable action set-pieces...

It is a disaster... and the film is in no way thrilling.

A decent action thriller, but not as good as I was expecting. It feels like a lower budget movie. (First and only viewing - 6/15/2017)
