3. PLOT

Bill Marks is an alcoholic U.S. federal air marshal; he enrolled in the Air Marshal
service after he was discharged from the police force. On a Boeing 767 non-
stop flight from New York to London aboard British Aqualantic Flight 10, midway
over the Atlantic Ocean, Marks receives text messages on his secure phone
stating that someone on the plane will die every 20 minutes unless $150 million
is transferred into a specific bank account.
Breaking protocol, Marks consults with Jack Hammond, the other air marshal on
the flight. Hammond is revealed to be smuggling cocaine in a briefcase and
following an altercation Marks ends up killing him in a lavatory. This occurs
exactly at the 20 minute mark, resulting in the first death. As Marks attempts to
stall for time with the texter, he works with Nancy Hoffman, a flight attendant,
and Jen Summers, a passenger seated next to Marks, to discover the texter's
identity. When the time runs out again, the captain suddenly dies of poisoning.
The public becomes convinced that Marks is hijacking the plane, as the bank
account is in his name and a passenger uploads video footage of him treating
passengers aggressively with no explanation. Co-pilot Kyle Rice has been
instructed by the TSA to ignore Marks and land in Iceland, the closest
destination; he diverts the plane but continues to cautiously trust Marks. Cell
phone programmer Zack White is asked by Marks to design a hack which will
cause the texter's cell phone to ring. It is discovered in the pocket of a
passenger, who claims to have never seen the phone before. Following a fight
with Marks, the passenger dies in a similar fashion to the captain.
In the lavatory, Marks finds a hole in the wall that allowed someone to shoot a
poison dart at the captain; he finds that the deceased passenger was struck
with a dart as well. While Marks and Summers try to gain access to the texter's
phone, it suddenly activates, sending automated messages to TSA implying
that Marks is suicidal and is going to detonate a bomb on the plane.
Marks finds the bomb hidden in the cocaine smuggled by Hammond. Unable to
land the plane in time, he attempts to initiate a protocol of least damage: by
descending the plane to 8,000 feet to equalize air pressure, placing the bomb in
the rear of the plane, covering it with baggage and moving the passengers to
the front to contain the explosion and minimize casualties. Passengers attempt
to disable Marks, convinced he is a terrorist. They overpower Marks but
passenger Tom Bowen uses Marks's gun to make them move away. Marks
finally explains the situation and they agree to work with him.
Watching a video clip of himself handling passengers, Marks notices Bowen
whom he had initially cleared of any suspicionslipping the texter's phone into
the pocket of the second poison victim. Realizing that Bowen is the culprit, he
learns that Bowen's father was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and that he and
White are ex-military. Appalled by the lack of security at U.S. airports after 9/11,
Bowen believes framing an air marshal as a terrorist will lead to drastically
increased security. Bowen is prepared to die with the plane and shoots White,
who planned to parachute off with the money, after Marks persuaded White to
disarm the bomb. Following another fight, Marks shoots Bowen in the head.
Marks then fights and defeats White, who survived being shot by Bowen, before
escaping from the blast radius of the bomb; White is killed by the subsequent
detonation.
Rice manages an emergency crash-landing at an air base in Iceland after the
bomb explodes, disregarding orders from his fighter-jet escort. Despite their
warnings, the fighter jets do not shoot the airliner down. The plane is damaged
in the landing and a young girl named Becca is almost sucked out the hole in
the plane, but ultimately there are no casualties. Marks is hailed as a hero in the
media, and the film ends with him and Summers beginning their friendship.

CONCLUSIONS

Non-Stop isnt a resounding success by any means, but its conversely a
noteworthy little thriller and something approaching a frustrating mess.

With Non-stop, Jaume Collet-Serra is consolidated as one of the Kings of
the psychological thriller and action in United States cinema, and the box
office results speak for themselves.
