Conundrum
Supernatural Thriller: in development.
When a string of airline crashes defies all rational explanation, a grief-stricken investigator obsessed with visions of his dead wife must uncover the truth behind a girl’s mysterious connection to the disasters before the next plane falls from the sky.
Summary.
Filmmaking team Richard Barcaricchio and Ryan Coonan return for their second feature - a gripping supernatural thriller revolving around a major airline crash investigation where all is not as it seems.
We follow NICHOLAS HUGHES; a federal officer who became an air crash investigator after the tragic death of his wife over a decade before. The first major airliner crash in Australia has occurred, but before Nicholas can start sifting through the wreckage, he is summoned from the accident site to listen to the recovered black box recording. The flight crew can be heard yelling at a cockpit invader, right up to the moment of impact. But there’s just one problem; they’ve already identified the bodies in the cockpit, and only the pilot and copilot have been found. Whoever invaded that locked space has somehow disappeared. Nicholas is given the ominous task of solving this riddle before the next plane goes down. He’ll have to face his past - and his connection to the crash - before he can find the answer to this Conundrum.
This Flightplan meets The Sixth Sense thriller will deliver intrigue, suspense, and a mind boggling twist - but it also delivers an uplifting perspective on life, love and what happens after we die.
Conundrum is produced by Richard Barcaricchio (The Red), directed by Ryan Coonan (Waterborne, The Red) and co-written by both.
