Flying at 40,000 feet in a cavernous, state-of-the-art E-474 aircraft, Kyle Pratt (Foster) faces every mother's worst nightmare when her six-year-old daughter Julia vanishes without a trace mid-flight from Berlin to New York. Already emotionally devastated by the unexpected death of her husband, Kyle desperately struggles to prove her sanity to the disbelieving flight crew and passengers while facing the very real possibility that she may be losing her mind. While neither the plane's Captain Rich (Sean Bean), nor Air Marshal Gene Carson (Peter Sarsgaard) want to doubt the bereaved widow, all evidence indicates that her daughter was never on board resulting in paranoia and doubt among the passengers and crew of the plane. Finding herself desperately alone, Kyle can only rely on her own wits to solve the mystery and save her daughter.

Kyle: No. Just you.
In "Flightplan," a distraught woman named Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster) has a problem. She has either lost her daughter, Julia (Marlene Lawston) or she has lost her mind while on board an airliner. Because the Pratt character is intelligent and seemingly rational, we'd like to believe her. Yet, because crew members and passengers don't recall the daughter and view her with varying degrees of doubt, we aren't so sure.
