"Non-Stop" is a formulaic suspense thriller about a plot to hijack an airplane.

The film begins in a very staid ambiguous manner with Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) gulping whisky in the car park before entering the airport premises. A clue to his state of mind is directed through the photograph of a little girl adorning his dashboard. He seems to be in a state of disarray, threatening his boss and snapping at strangers.

The unsteady camera follows him. It meanders, capturing random action of passengers till it finally settles into the aircraft, a British transatlantic flight from New York to London.
