Flight , IQ Score 158/200

Robert Zemeckis's 2012 film anchored by Denzel Washington (Oscar-nominated) as Whip Whitaker, an alcoholic-and-cocaine-addicted commercial airline pilot who heroically lands a malfunctioning plane while intoxicated. The structural commitment to letting addiction-cognition operate as the actual moral material, and the canonical opening flight-sequence at scale Hollywood pure-action rarely achieves at register prestige drama supports, is canonical Washington late-career work.
