This summer seems to belong to Denzel Washington thrillers. Even his movies that have slipped from the charts are still trending amongst his many fans on Twitter. This might explain why Flight is still soaring on Netflix this month.

Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis

Commercial airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) has a problem with drugs and alcohol, though so far he’s managed to complete his flights safely. His luck runs out when a disastrous mechanical malfunction sends his plane hurtling toward the ground. Whip pulls off a miraculous crash-landing that results in only six lives lost. Shaken to the core, Whip vows to get sober — but when the crash investigation exposes his addiction, he finds himself in an even worse situation.

Flight is directed by Robert Zemeckis. The film was written by John Gatins. It stars Denzel Washington, Nadine Velazquez, Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood, and Melissa Leo.

Many fans claim that it is one of Denzel’s best performances out of a career of outstanding work. Others are here for the drama that stems from the movie’s revelations about the heroic, albeit complicated, pilot the film follows.
