![]() ![]() The young co-pilot, talented but arrogant and distracted by flirting with one of the flight attendants, infuriates the captain who offers him a lesson in professional etiquette as they prepare for takeoff. The story begins with a detailed description of the narrative premise: the flight from Chongqing to Lhasa is a routine flight for the crew made up of captain Liu Changjiang – a very precise ex-military pilot, a bit wooden but experienced and who knows the route like the back of his hand, played by Zhang Hanyu – and other regulars on the flight such as Bi Nan, the flight attendant manager, played by Yuan Quan in a very convincing way. The film recounts in detail, with a skillful crescendo of narrative tension, how both crew and passengers lived those moments. Only the professionalism and cool head of the pilot, and the sense of discipline of the rest of the crew, averted a tragedy. ![]() The Captain tells the story of a drama that occurred over Chinese skies on May 14, 2018, when Sichuan Airlines’ Chongqing – Lhasa flight encountered violent turbulence that caused the plane to drop in altitude when the cockpit window shattered.
