Fear takes flight is the tagline for what 2005 film?

“Fear takes flight” is the tagline for the 2005 film Red Eye. Directed by Wes Craven, the thriller stars Rachel McAdams as Lisa Reisert, a hotel manager who becomes trapped in a dangerous conspiracy during a nighttime flight.

The title refers to a red-eye flight, an overnight journey that typically arrives early in the morning. The film turns that ordinary travel setting into a confined suspense scenario: Lisa discovers that the man seated beside her, played by Cillian Murphy, is not a random passenger but an operative involved in a planned assassination.

The tagline is effective because it connects the literal experience of flying with the movie’s central threat. Lisa cannot simply leave the aircraft, and the narrow cabin, darkness, and limited options intensify the tension. After landing, the danger continues at the hotel where she works.

Red Eye was released in August 2005 and became one of Wes Craven’s notable non-slasher thrillers. It is sometimes confused with films that use aviation as a setting, but the combination of the 2005 release date and the “Fear takes flight” tagline points specifically to Red Eye.
