Commercial airline pilot Whip Whitaker 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.

extreeeemely strong start, le reste vaaaaaaasy on a compris toujours à débattre sur la religion alors que y'a d'autres sujets (le thème de l'addiction a super bien été exploité mais évidemment fallait que la fin ait un ton archi moralisateur et inspirant et nanani nanana asy bref changez de disque)
