The creators of the film

The director of the project was Jaume Collet-Serra. Jaume is of Catalan origin. At eighteen, the future director moved to Los Angeles. Kolet-Serra made his debut very successfully: his painting "House of Wax" collected at the box office 68 million dollars at a cost of 40 million. Then there were pictures of the "Child of Darkness", "Unknown", and in 2013 the director was inspired by the script of John W. Richardson, who later turned into a detective thriller "Air Marshal".

Actors, according to the story, were to tell the audience an entertaining story about how the air marshal has to directly confront two clever criminals in the sky, who decided to blow up the plane. In real life, the profession of air marshals appeared not so long ago, that's why in the cinema this topic did not have time to "stop". That's why the picture was so interesting to the audience, although the story itself is not original.

Production thriller was engaged in studio Universal Pictures.

"Air Marshal": actors and roles. Liam Neeson

Liam Neeson over the past decade has turned into a real star of militants. Prior to this, the actor starred in psychological dramas (Schindler's List), science fiction (Star Wars, Episode I), historical paintings (Gangs of New York). But everything changed the participation of Neeson in the trilogy "The Hostage", produced by Luc Besson. Liam looked so convincingly in the role of a former special agent who freely wielded weapons and waving his fists, that after the "Hostage" he was basically offered to play "tough guy" in other fighters. So Liam got into a detective thriller "Air Marshal".

The main actor, or rather his character - air marshal Bill Marks - is on duty aboard an airliner, as required by the profession. But when the flight "New York - London" rises into the air, everything goes out of control. The mobile marshal is beginning to receive messages with threats that passengers will die one after another if the US government does not transfer $ 150 million to the specified bank account. Then Bill Marx begins to methodically substitute: for the ground special services it becomes obvious that this is the marshal the main terrorist on board. In the finals, Bill manages to find real criminals, to neutralize them and regain their good name.

"Air Marshal": actors. Julianne Moore
