Flight

Eight complete strangers find they have more in common than they think. Stranded overnight at an airport, they meet a refugee forced to call the terminal his home and soon realize they need each other to get to their destinations. Inspired by a true story, Jonathan Dove's Flight is a touching, charming, and deeply human dramedy all about what it means to make a real connection.
