Heartwarming / Flight (2012)

aka: Flight

• Katerina unbuckles her seatbelt during the flight accident scene to help a small child.
• When Whip tells Maggie to tell her son goodbye in case they don't make it. Tamara Tunie really sells it.
  I love you, Trevor, you be a good boy; mommy loves you.
  • Truth in Television since many pilots have said one final goodbye to loved ones mere seconds before their aircraft hit the ground and exploded. They did this knowing full well that the black box would record it, and that eventually, their loved ones would hear it.
• When one of the flight attendants gets knocked unconscious due to the plane turbulence passengers are seen frantically trying to help her. There was very little the passengers could have done but they were at least able to try to help each other.
• Doubles as a Tear Jerker - the moment at the end where Whitaker, not wanting to ruin Katerina's image, finally admits to drinking prior to and during the flight.
• The ending, where Whitaker is moving on, having been sober for a year, and still keeping in touch with Nicole, his ex-wife, and his son. Finally, the son comes to interview him for a college essay, and it's implied that he will finally get to truly know his father.
