Airplane Mode (film)
Airplane Mode is a 2018 comedy film directed by Dylan Trussell and David Dinetz. It stars YouTube celebrities Logan Paul and Jake Paul, who co-wrote the film with Trussell and Dinetz.[1] In an interview with Forbes Magazine at Cannes Film Festival, Dinetz described the film as a “modern, updated Airplane!”[2] Airplane Mode star Amanda Cerny, speaking to Entertainment Tonight Canada, said that the film is “very racy and takes a lot of risks,”[3] while Logan Paul described it as “an Expendables with Internet stars.”[4]
Plot[edit]
Logan Paul has a fear of flying. He is about to embark on a long trip from Los Angeles to Australia for the world’s largest social media convention. It’s his first time on a plane and he is scared to death. His fears become reality when, during takeoff, the other passengers refuse to switch their phones into airplane mode. The phone signals cause the plane’s controls to go haywire, and the pilots are electrocuted. Suddenly, the plane descends into chaos. As Logan realizes he is the only one who will step up to save the day, his foreign exchange brother Juanpa Zurita comes up with an entirely different plan: facing certain disaster, he decides that he is going to lose his virginity or die trying.
Logan finally overcomes his fears, facing off with a Russian psychopath who is determined to stop him, and brings the plane down safely.
