Under High Pressure can be (re)watched on Netflix
While Cillian Murphy was present at all the ceremonies thanks to his role Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan, which allowed him to win his first Oscar as best actor, can currently be (re)watched on Netflix in the thriller Under high pressure (Red eyes) by Wes Craven released in 2005.
The actor plays the seductive Jackson Rippner, the passenger of a night plane headed to Miami, whose mission is to kill a rich and powerful businessman. To do this he needs the help of his neighbor on the flight: Lisa Reisert (played by Rachel McAdams), with whom he had befriended before boarding.

The latter is a manager of the luxurious Atlantic Hotel in Miami and must do everything to ensure that the Secretary of Homeland Security, Charles Keefe, occupies a particular room in this hotel where he stays with his family. Room where he will be murdered. If he refuses to cooperate, Lisa’s father will be killed by a hitman, just waiting for Jackson’s green light to act. If Lisa doesn’t call her assistant to ask her to reassign the politician, her father will be eliminated. The young woman then finds herself faced with a dilemma, 10,000 meters above sea level.
Wes Craven moves away from his favorite genre
Wes Craven is best known for being one of the most prolific horror masters of the 80s/90s, with his cult sagas The claws of the night and naturally He shouted. You have changed genre only twice: in 1999 for the biographical drama The music of my heartand then in 2005 with the thriller Under high pressure.
The plot of the thriller might seem thin, as it centers on a simple phone call that Lisa has to make to change a hotel reservation. However, Craven excels at maintaining the suspense and anxiety in this aerial camera which however loses some of its luster when the story returns to the mainland.
Under high pressure it also explores the latent threat of modern communications, shattering the illusion of safety that the confined space of an airplane might offer. A postulate that resonates even more today.
