IS THERE A RULE THAT airborne movies have to have a one-word title? Gerard Butler’s latest action thriller is called Plane, perhaps because Airplane was taken, as were Flight and Airport and Sully. Though to be fair, the last one only works if your hero is called Chelsey Sullenberger.
I am a sucker for flying, and for films about it, and doesn’t disappoint. “This is one view that never gets old,” Butler’s pilot comments as he looks down the runway before take-off, which is exactly how I feel. Feeling yourand small, on RAF transports and US Army Chinook helicopters, and it’s never not been fun.
