Passengers

After a horrific plane crash, a young therapist, Claire Summers (Anne Hathaway), is assigned by her mentor (Andre Braugher) to counsel the flight’s five remaining passengers.  Claire’s difficulties in taking on such an assignment are made all the more complex when she’s confronted by Eric (Patrick Wilson), a passenger who refuses her help and instead uses the crash as an excuse to break the rules and openly court her.  As Claire struggles to maintain a professional distance from Eric, her other patients struggle with recollections of the accident which are at odds with the airline’s official explanation.  After their memories of a possible mid-air explosion surface, the passengers begin mysteriously disappearing, and Claire suspects the airline is behind it.  Determined to uncover the truth, Claire is drawn deeper into a conspiracy—and deeper into a relationship with Eric—that will soon collide in an explosive twist of fate.

Mandate Pictures’ thriller Passengers stars Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain) and is directed by Rodrigo Garcia (Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, Nine Lives) from a screenplay by Ronnie Christensen.  Patrick Wilson (Little Children, HBO’s Angels in America), David Morse (The Crossing Guard, The Green Mile), Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street, Poseidon), Clea DuVall (Identity, 21 Grams), and two-time Oscar®-winner Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters, Bullets over Broadway) round out the cast

Passengers is produced by Keri Selig (The Stepford Wives, Three To Tango), Matthew Rhodes (Southland Tales, Walker Payne), Judd Payne (Southland Tales, Walker Payne), and Julie Lynn (10 Items or Less, Nine Lives).  Mandate’s Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane executive produce with Kelli Konop and Mary Lee co-producing.  The film will be released in North America by Columbia Pictures.
