Synopsis (via Lifetime)
Lisa Foster survives a plane crash in the Mexican jungle and must use her strength and faith to survive the wilderness and return to her daughter
Recap/Wine Thoughts
Lisa is on her way to a Mexican resort vacation on Pacifica Airlines. Her mother buys her a plane ticket to Mexico City for a getaway from her controlling husband, Jeff, after their divorce. Before Lisa leaves, Ella gives her mother a plane keychain. Lisa is seated next to a college student named Kay-La.
A high-level executive, Rebecca, also pushes her weight around to get on the flight but ends up at a hotel for the night. She is going to Mexico City for work and to visit her estranged mother.
The plane goes down, and Lisa is probably the sole survivor.
Since Rebecca is close, she is assigned to the emergency response team. Rebecca tries to get out of it, but the emergency coordinator, James, isn’t impressed that she’s the company’s VP. He tells her to get to work rescuing people. She looks at the manifest and photos of people on the plane and is inspired to help.
Meanwhile, Lisa wakes up bloody and strapped to her seat and hanging on a tree branch. She undoes her seat belt and falls, dislocating her shoulder. She cries and tells herself to wake up, because this must surely be a dream. Then she slams her shoulder into a tree to reset it, and I’M IMPRESSED!
Rebecca is paired with Lisa’s family, and they are insulted that she is representing the airline’s best interests rather than helping them learn what happened. Rebecca tries to get out of her service again, but the therapist tells her that her lack of empathy might be a good thing.
Lisa scours the jungle and, instead of finding food, shelter, or water, is relieved to find the keychain plane her daughter gave her. OH GOOD!
Rebecca works to help triangulate where the plane went down. For a volunteer, Rebecca is really doing the most. Where are the professionals?! Rebecca doesn’t want to babysit the family and tries to go out into the jungle to search; thankfully, no one lets her go.
Lisa starts looking through the bag, trying to find useful items and a fruitcake. She also finds Kay-la’s Bible, and damn it if Lifetime didn’t shoehorn another faith-based movie! Lisa records goodbyes on a tape recorder.
Rebecca sneaks onto the crash site to search for Lisa, leaving the group behind. The crash is deemed unsurvivable, but Rebecca presses on alone at night. She finds Lisa and tells her her family will be so glad to see her. Well, that is if they can find their way back. Rebecca is now missing too.
They camp out, build a campfire, and talk about all the strange coincidences that brought them together. They talk about past trauma and how to do things better with a second chance.
Rebecca and Lisa make it back, and Lisa is the only survivor.
STRAY Thought
For such an intense plane crash, this was pretty low-stakes/boring.
Overall rating
Number of Kills: I guess a whole plane’s worth.
