Movie Review: On a Wing and a Prayer (2023) on Amazon Original 👍
Dennis Quaid leads this preachy real-life drama about a Southern family whose faith is tested by death and calamity. (See movie trailer below.)
After attending his brother's unexpected funeral, Doug White (Dennis Quaid) and this family catch a private flight back home. But not long after takeoff, the elderly pilot dies, leaving Doug to fly and land the twin-engine plane he's never flown. In fact, he's only ever flown one plane before, a single-engine Cesna, and barely landed it safely, with instructors onboard. Now he has only his own wits, the help of his wife Terri (Heather Graham), and the devotion of two teenage daughters Bailey (Abigail Rhyne) and Maggie (Jessi Case) to drive him.
On the ground guiding Doug are the Miami and local flight controllers and the one pilot who once faced the same circumstances years ago, Kari Sorenson (Jesse Metcalfe). Film is heavy on dramatic scenes as well.
Getting through the ordeal requires Doug and his family to dig deep into their personal faith and family relationships, themes which the film explores throughout.
