Flight 811

Flight 811, including Azra and Cengiz couple, who carry a $2 million worth of emerald to the auction in the United States, takes off from Istanbul to New York, while a suspicious death changes the fate of all passengers. In this tension-filled atmosphere taking place in a passenger plane over the Atlantic Ocean, all passengers become suspects and in the end all the pieces of the puzzle come together when the audience faces the shocking reality which is never expected. Bringing together award-winning actors of Turkish theater and popular faces of television and cinema, the production also has the distinction of being the first film shot in Turkey to take place entirely on an airplane.

Directed by Hakan Kerim Karademir, Flight 811 leans on a strong ensemble — Burcu Kara, Emre Karayel, Yosi Mizrahi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
