After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire (Anne Hathaway), is assigned by her mentor (Andre Braugher) to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident -- which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened -- Claire is intrigued by Eric (Patrick Wilson), the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric -- despite her better judgment -- blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences.

The film starts with a crash, but it seems quite slow-paced. Mr. Perry (Andre Braugher) thinks that it is time for a therapist, Claire Summers (Anne Hathaway), to do something practical, so she is assigned to help the passengers of the recent plane crash. The passengers’ accounts of the plane crash vary greatly, and soon, the passengers seem to be disappearing or at least not coming to the sessions. It appears that the airline is covering something up, and everybody is in on it. Is Claire paranoid to the point where she cannot function properly?
With the creepy mystique, the slow pace, and mysterious people, our minds are racing ahead. We remember all of the conspiracy movies, spooky movies, and just downright movies of all kinds in the twists. Okay, which one is this one going to be? Now, who is paranoid?
It is best to let the movie unfold with the flow, and you may find that you enjoy it, and with all movies that have a mystery about them, you will want to re-watch this to see what you missed.
One suspicious character is an airline representative, Arkin, played by David Morse. See him again in “Contact”.
I only saw the Blu-ray, so I cannot compare it to other versions, but be sure to also listen to the voice-over commentary by Rodrigo Garcia, Director, and Patrick Wilson, who plays Eric.
