Flight or Vol In Quebec is an American dramatic film directed by Robert Zemeckis and released in 2012.

The film receives overall positive criticism and is a commercial success when it was released.

Whip Whitaker, an experienced line pilot, managed to land his plane in disaster after a failure in the sky. Six people die in the accident.

He was received as a hero after the accident, but the NTSB (National Council for Transport Security in the United States) is investigating to determine responsibilities. Whip, an alcoholic and consumer of cocaine and cannabis, hides his alcohol consumption the day before, in the morning and during the flight. He asks a hostess to ignore the details that could overwhelm him. He ensures that his co -pilot will not reveal that he was still drunk from the day before when he took control of the plane.

In the hospital, he met Nicole, admitted following a heroin overdose. Once out, they start a relationship, but she ends up leaving him because of his alcoholism.

The lawyer who defends Whip manages to make the toxicological analysis report invalidate which reveals that he was under the effects of alcohol and cocaine during the accident. The hearing arrives in front of the NTSB. Whip ment on his condition at the time of the accident, before finally cracking and revealing that he is an alcoholic and that he had consumed alcohol while the investigation ends up posting a hostess, who died in the accident, its secret consumption of bottles on the plane.

He was finally sentenced to a few years in prison and stops drinking.
