With uncanny similarities to recent tragic events in Nigeria is the stunning and visionary new movie from, the acclaimed director of The Mirror Boy.
Inspired by true events, Last Flight to Abuja is a high octane disaster
thriller and the first Nigerian movie to be set on aeroplane. The movie
stars some of Africa's best screen actors and features SFX never before seen in any Nollywood movie.
Stylishly directed, Last Flight to Abuja
unravels the twists, turns and leaps of fate that put a set of everyday
Nigerian travelers on-board a stricken plane teetering on the brink of
disaster at 30,000 feet. Caught up in a nightmare scenario all the
passengers pray as the final moments of their lives approach.
All…except one! What does he know?
Will they survive....-..the Last Flight to Abuja?
Originally inspired by a series of airplane
disasters that rocked Nigeria in 2006, Last Flight to Abuja has
inadvertently become highly relevant and timely due to the recent news
of the horrific plane crashes that occurred in Lagos and Accra with the
loss of over 170 lives. Taking into account the sensitivities of all
concerned, the producers felt that now was the most opportune time to
release this now important film in order to maintain pressure on the
relevant agencies to tackle the serious issue of air safety in Africa.
The producers, cast and African media organisations are now coming
together to create a campaign demanding improvements in air safety in
Nigeria and Africa as a whole. As a tribute and mark of respect for the
victims of the Dana Airlines and Allied Air disasters, the producers of
the film have dedicated the film to their memory. May their souls rest
in peace.
Together we can do our part to help make a difference and with your
support we hope this film can be the start of a change that every
Nollywood fan can be proud of! Tell your friends, family and loves ones
about Last Flight to Abuja and make sure you all go see the film on
opening night, Friday 29th June.
