On a Wing and a Prayer

Doug White, overwhelmed by grief and fear after losing his brother Jeffrey and his father, finds himself in a terrifying situation when the pilot of the private plane they are traveling in suddenly suffers a seizure and dies mid-flight. With no experience in piloting and panic threatening to take over, Doug must rely on the guidance of air traffic controllers and, ultimately, a veteran pilot named Kari who is on the ground. Despite the immense odds and the storm approaching, Doug manages to keep his composure and follow Kari’s instructions to land the plane safely. His successful landing becomes a powerful testament to faith, courage, and perseverance. As he pulls the plane onto the runway, everyone is filled with relief and tears, realizing how fragile and unpredictable life is. The story underscores the idea that surrendering to faith and staying calm in the face of chaos can help us achieve the seemingly impossible. The film is based on a real-life event, highlighting how ordinary people can find extraordinary strength in moments of crisis, often fueled by faith—whether in a higher power or in their own resilience. In the end, Doug’s triumph is not just about landing the plane; it’s about overcoming fear and demonstrating that hope and determination can prevail even in the most dire circumstances.
