Fear of flying is common around the world. People wonder if the plane will get struck by lightening of if there's a mechanical failure. But no one ever stops to think about the person sitting next to him or her. Are they really who they say they are? Is there something more to their story? Wes Craven brings a new kind of terror that is deeper than any ordinary thriller. He makes you feel like the victim. Red Eye is Wes Craven's best film to date.
Lisa Reisert (McAdams), a hotel operator in Miami, Florida is on her way home to attend her Grandmother's funeral. She hates to fly. But her fear on this flight won't be the same as any other ordinary flight.
She meets a nice man named Jackson (Murphy), who invites her to have a drink. She says no at first but sees him later at a bar and decides to join him. It is a mutual attraction with no real danger involved...yet. Once on board, Lisa finds out oddly enough that Jackson is her seatmate on the flight. Fate has brought them together, but for a different reason than she thinks.
Jackson suddenly tells her why he is really on board the plane with her. He is an operative of some kind in a plot to assassinate a rich and powerful businessman staying at her hotel, and Lisa is the key to its success. If she refuses to cooperate, an assassin waiting outside her house will kill her father.
The build up is white knuckling. The suspense is heart pounding. The movie is 85 minutes long so you know nothing in this movie will be a waste of your time. You may think differently of air travel after this movie. That means that Wes Craven did his job.
