RED EYE
SYNOPSIS
From director Wes Craven (the "Scream" franchise)
comes "Red Eye," a suspense thriller at 30,000 feet,
starring Rachel McAdams ("The Notebook," "Wedding
Crashers") and Cillian Murphy ("Batman Begins," "28
Days Later").
Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) hates to fly, but the
terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has
nothing to do with a fear of flying.
Upon boarding the plane, Lisa is pleasantly surprised
to find that she is seated next to Jackson (Cillian
Murphy), the seemingly charming man with whom she
had shared a drink—and perhaps even a brief
flirtation—in the airport terminal. But moments after
takeoff, Jackson drops his façade and menacingly
reveals the real reason he's on board: He is an
operative in a plot to kill the Deputy Secretary of
Homeland Security...and Lisa is the key to its success.
If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be
killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson.

If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be
killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson.
Trapped within the confines of a jet at 30,000 feet, Lisa has nowhere to run and no way to summon help
without endangering her father, her fellow passengers and her own life. As the miles tick by, Lisa knows
she is running out of time as she desperately looks for a way to thwart her ruthless captor and stop a
terrible murder.
"Red Eye" is directed by Wes Craven and produced by Chris Bender and Marianne Maddalena. The
executive producers are Bonnie Curtis, Jim Lemley, JC Spink and Mason Novick. The screenplay was
written by Carl Ellsworth from a story by Ellsworth and Dan Foos.

BRENDA
Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Mean Girls) must be the flavor of the month with Wes Craven's Red
Eye and Wedding Crashers released earlier this month. This new flick by Wes Craven is not your normal
everyday Wes Craven horror and gore movie but more of an action thriller. Rachel McAdams plays a
young woman who is an executive of a large hotel. She meets a man at the airport and of course the
meeting is not coincidental. The man is part of an assassin group trying to murder the Deputy Secretary
of Homeland Security. As you would expect being a Wes Craven film you are on the edge of your seat the
entire movie. The running time is only 85 minutes and leaves you wanting more. If you are looking for a
good action thriller don’t miss out on this one.
