Mel Gibson-directed 'Flight Risk' starring Mark Wahlberg grossed $12 million as the 2025 Oscar-nominated films totaled less than $10 million.

Flight Risk recently arrived in theaters, sparking curiosity among fans about when the film could come out on streaming platforms. This film is Mel Gibson’s latest directorial venture, having arrived about nine years after his last directorial venture,

The premise is simple: Michelle Dockery plays U.S. Marshal Madolyn, tasked with transporting wiseass accountant Winston (Topher Grace) on a prop plane from Alaska to Seattle. Daryl (Mark Wahlberg), their shady pilot, is secretly working for the bad guys and tasked with killing Winston before he can testify. That’s it. That’s the setup.

For “Flight Risk,” his first outing as a director in nearly a decade, the Oscar winner isn’t quite taking center stage.

Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace also star in this movie about a U.S. Marshall, her mob-connected witness and a hit man posing as a pilot.

Mel Gibson has an impressive track record as a director, having delivered great cinematic films like Braveheart , Apocalypto , and Hacksaw Ridge . These film showcase the filmmakers incredible talent for storytelling.

New in theaters, Flight Risk marks Gibson’s first turn as a director since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge, which earned Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Directing for Gibson and Best Actor for Andrew Garfield. As such, Wahlberg knew going into the film that he was in great hands before the action thriller took flight.

A marketing campaign that splashes Gibson's earlier acclaimed earlier films — but not his name — holds an unflattering mirror to this uninspiring action thriller.
