No Way Up
No Way Up is a 2024 survival thriller directed by Claudio Fรคh, featuring Sophie McIntosh, Will Attenborough, Jeremias Amoore, Manuel Pacific, Grace Nettle, Phyllis Logan, and Colm Meaney.
Plot Summary:
The film follows a group of passengers from diverse backgrounds aboard a Vista Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Los Cabos. Disaster strikes when a bird strike causes the plane to crash into the Pacific Ocean, leaving the survivors trapped in an air pocket within the sinking fuselage. As their air supply dwindles and external dangers, including predatory sharks, encroach, they must work together to find a way to the surface before time runs out.
Critical Reception:
No Way Up has received mixed reviews. Some critics appreciate its homage to classic disaster films, while others find certain plot elements implausible. The Wall Street Journal notes that while the film may provide entertainment for casual viewing, it is unlikely to be featured in airline in-flight entertainment or favored by specific interest groups like scuba divers.
The film was released in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2024, and in the United States on February 16, 2024.
