The film has been described as 'Die Hard on a plane'.

Our TV movie pick for tonight (Tuesday, 21 April) is Fight or Flight, the 2025 action thriller starring Josh Hartnett (Oppenheimer, Trap).

The film sees the actor play the disgraced former US secret service agent Lucas Reyes, who is given one last chance to redeem himself.

His mission: track down and identify a mysterious, international high-value asset known only as The Ghost on a flight from Bangkok to San Francisco.

Upon boarding the flight and taking to the skies, Lucas discovers to his horror that the plane is filled with assassins from around the world who are assigned to kill him and The Ghost.

Co-starring Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton), Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) and Marko Zaror (John Wick: Chapter 4), Fight or Flight holds a solid 76% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Fight or Flight is airing on TV tonight on Sky One at 9pm. It's also available to stream on the service NOW.
