Trailer Drops for 'Fight or Flight' Thriller Shot in Hungary
The upcoming action film Fight or Flight, led by Josh Hartnett, was filmed primarily in Hungary, with key sequences shot at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. The movie is set to premiere in theaters around 9 May - you can see the trailer below.

Directed by James Madigan, the film follows exiled American agent Lucas Reyes (Hartnett), who is given a final chance to redeem himself by capturing a high-value target mid-flight from Bangkok to San Francisco.

The mission becomes far more dangerous when the plane turns out to be packed with international assassins - each assigned to eliminate them both.

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, Hungary’s largest airport, served as a central location for the production. Its modern facilities and runways provided a convincing setting for the film’s intense, flight-based action scenes.

Written by Brooks McLaren and D.J. Cotrona, the film also features Katee Sackhoff, Charithra Chandran, and Julian Kostov. Hungary’s well-developed production infrastructure enabled the crew to execute complex sequences set within the aircraft environment.

“Fight or Flight” further establishes Hungary’s status as a reliable destination for international action productions, offering the necessary logistics, visual realism, and cost-efficiency for films with high-concept settings.
