Obi Emelonye

After thrilling Nigeria – and the rest of Africa – with the hit movie, The Mirror Boy, London based director Obi Emelonye is set to take us all on the last flight to Abuja.

Nollywoodgossip has learned that the disaster movie features grade A stars such as: Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Jim Iyke, Hakeem Kazim, Jide Kosoko, Ali Nuhu, Uche Odoputa, and many others.

“This is a disaster thriller, I’m taking Nollywood to new heights…literally,” Obi Emelonye tells Delia Innoma (Live Online With Delia).

Here is the synopsis of the movie:

Based on true events…

A set of everyday Nigerian travelers board the last Flamingo Airways flight scheduled to fly from Lagos to Abuja on a fateful Friday night in 2006.

The plane cruises at 30,000 feet, tranquil and on schedule.

But like a bolt out of the blue, through a mixture of human error, technical failure and sheer bad luck, the plane rapidly develops major difficulties that send it teetering on the brink of disaster.

As the pilots fight with the controls of the stricken airplane, a series of flashbacks unravel the twists, turns and leaps of fate that put each passenger on the fateful flight.

Young lovers, an elderly couple, a corporate party, a sportsman on the threshold of greatness; all the passengers are caught up in the nightmare scenario and sense the final moments of their lives approach. All…except one!

What does he know?

Will they survive the last flight to Abuja?
