Comedy

A special forces veteran, an uptight property developer, an influencer with half a million followers and an incompetent instructor are thrown together on a high-end fear of flying course. The course's final challenge is an experience flight from London to Iceland, which ends up being a horrendous ordeal. Lost in Iceland, freezing and terrified, they must find a way of facing their fears and working together to spread their wings... and fly.

VIBE

Brace for a hilariously chaotic journey as an unlikely group confronts their deepest fears, not just of flying, but of themselves. It's a charmingly awkward, visually striking adventure where teamwork and self-discovery are found amidst absurd predicaments and breathtaking Icelandic backdrops.
