Wahlberg plays a pilot flying a federal agent (Michelle Dockery) and a fugitive (Topher Grace) across Alaska in the thrilling flick. Wahlberg and his wife Durham, who tied the knot in 2009, share four kids: Ella, 20, Michael, 18, Brendan, 15 and Grace, 14, who all found their dad’s new do rather funny.

New in theaters, Flight Risk marks Gibson’s first turn as a director since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge, which earned Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Directing for Gibson and Best Actor for Andrew Garfield. As such, Wahlberg knew going into the film that he was in great hands before the action thriller took flight.

Reading more like a play than a movie script, "Flight Risk" puts three actors in a plane with a psycho Mark Wahlberg on the loose. Mel Gibson directs.

Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace also star in this movie about a U.S. Marshall, her mob-connected witness and a hit man posing as a pilot.

The Mel Gibson-directed thriller “Flight Risk” opens in theaters Friday. The airplane drama takes thrills to new heights as Mark Wahlberg — who partially shaved his head for the role — stars as a pilot who’s transporting an Air Marshal and her fugitive but reveals his secret agenda mid-flight.

Flight Risk,” a new thriller starring Mark Wahlberg, soared to No. 1 at theaters and topped the box office with $12 million. Wahlberg joins “Morning in America” to discuss the film and the challenges of his starring role.

Such was the case for Mark Wahlberg’s newest movie, Flight Risk. Wahlberg didn't have to hit the gym, but he did shave his head. The look has certainly evoked a response, but none can match the one from Wahlbeg's own wife.
