For Max Klein (Bridges), the sudden realization of his own imminent death as the airplane plummets becomes a moment of liberation: He calms the other passengers and leads the survivors out of the wreckage. For Carla Rodrigo (Perez), the same moment destroys all she holds dear as her baby is pulled from his arms to his death. Now, following the tragedy, Klein cannot reconnect with his wife, Laura (Rossellini), and when the airline's therapist (John Turturro) introduces Klein to Rodrigo, the two survivors form a healing bond of friendship.
