I never got round to watching it but thought it looked exciting and was just wondering what it was all about.

The bad guys needed Jodie Foster to open the casket (combination locked) to get to "the goods" (a bomb they needed in mid-air, not smuggled goods - it would be useless after landing). They concocted a plan to kidnap the daughter but make it look like the daughter never existed. This was the only way that the casket would be opened without reasonable suspicion on the bad guys.

####SPOILERS###

it turns out that Carson, an on-board flight attendant, and a coroner in Berlin are the true villains. It is implied that they have abducted Julia for the same reason that they killed Kyle's husband. They plan to blow up the aircraft with explosives hidden in the un-x-rayed coffin, after they receive word that the airline has deposited $50 million in a bank account, supposedly according to Kyle's instructions. These actions are meant to implicate Kyle in their crime, and the marshal assumes the role of negotiating her demands.
As he is searching the area where he left Julia, he exclaims that he managed to kidnap her and bring her into the avionics via a food elevator without any other passengers noticing. Carson walks in the front of the plane where he initially left Julia and installed the explosives, and Kyle, with both Julia and the detonator in her hand, blows up the front of the aircraft, thus killing Carson. Kyle and Julia manage to escape safely through a cargo door, and the FBI, flight passengers, and crew members all look at Kyle in amazement as she carries her daughter out onto the tarmac.

The next morning, the crew and passengers rest at the airport, while Kyle receives apologies from the captain. A minivan arrives to pick up Kyle and Julia, as they drive off to continue their journey home to New York.

I think the whole point was to make her think she had lost her mind. Why they wanted to do this, I don't know. Unless it had something to do with the fact that she designed the plane in the first place. It was actually a pretty good movie...and I did wonder if she had lost her mind or if I had. Worth an hour and a half and the four bucks to rent.

It was seriously really cheap, I think the guy actually just took the daughter when the mom was asleep and nobody really thought anything of it, I don't know, it was something like that, really cheap, i'm not sure if I have it right though, wikipedia.com probably has the info on it.

EDIT: Yeah, the guy just took her daughter without any of the other passengers noticing.

The dude took her daughter because the stuff he needed was in the husbands casket.. He needed her to open it, it was locked by a code. So they made her think she was crazy so that she would open it. And It worked.... It was a great movie...

Unlike the guy above me I tried not to spoil the movie to much..
