Based on a true story of faith and survival, “On a Wing and a Prayer” stars Dennis Quaid and Heather Graham as Doug and Terry White. It also stars Jesse Metcalfe as Kari Sorenson. The film follows the White family as they try to land a plane safely after their pilot unexpectedly dies mid-flight.

Parents need to know that On a Wing and a Prayer is based on the true story of a Christian family from Louisiana whose pilot on a private jet died mid-flight, leaving the inexperienced father of the family (Dennis Quaid) to bravely fly the plane and land it safely.

[On a Wing and a Prayer] falls short of the glory of competent filmmaking and gorges on cheap sentimentally and cliches, undermining its own message.
