It's Christmas Eve 1957. RAF pilot Freddie Hook (Ben Radcliffe) is desperate to go home, but he is not experienced with night flying. He's flying across the North Sea at night when multiple instruments malfunction. With hopes fading, an old Mosquito plane appears out of nowhere and guides him to an old airfield.
This is based on a 1975 book. It's a fine ghost story. It's extremely simple and predictable. I don't like the John Travolta casting. It would be much better to cast a nobody. If they really want the reverence, get a real life RAF pilot to play the role. This is sweet especially for Christmas.
