The movie was shot primarily in Las Vegas, Mesquite, Nevada, and Alaska, emphasizing the wilderness setting that mirrors the film’s themes of danger and isolation. Principal photography occurred between June and August 2023.
“Flight Risk” was initially part of the 2020 Black List for most-liked unproduced scripts in Hollywood. It was later developed into a feature film with Gibson directing and Wahlberg in the lead. The project faced unique challenges during the SAG-AFTRA strike in 2023 but was granted approval to continue filming.
This high-stakes thriller combines action, suspense, and survival themes, making it one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
