While taking a business trip, architect Max Klein Jeff Bridges survives a crash of a flight headed from San Francisco to Houston. As the plane descends, Max inexplicably becomes at peace when he accepts he is going to die. The revelation inspires him to comfort many of the fearful passengers, even moving to sit next to Byron Hummel Daniel Cerny, a young boy flying alone. The psychological trauma of the experience transforms his personality and he enters an altered state of consciousness, rethinking his life and becoming preoccupied with the eternal meanings and the existential questions of life and death itself. Maxs reaction to this awakening itself questions the reality of what is real and unreal and what his mind perceives as real through his interaction with others and the chance of living again in everyday life.Immediately after the crash, Max, one of the planes few survivors, rents a car and drives from the crash site in Bakersfield to Los Angeles, stopping on the way to visit his old high school sweetheart, Alison Debra Monk, whom he hasnt seen inyears. During their meal at a restaurant Alison notices Max eating a strawberry and inquires about his allergy to them. Max grins and explains hes gotten past his allergic reaction and somehow, confidently finishes it with no problems. Hes tracked down at a hotel room the next morning by F.B.I. agents who question his odd choice to not contact his wife and family or remain at the crash site with the other survivors. The airline sends a representative who compensates him with train tickets to go home to San Francisco. Max declines the tickets, stating adamantly that he wants to fly home and has no fear of air travel anymore. On the flight he meets Dr. Bill Perlman John Turturro, an airlinecontracted psychiatrist who offers to counsel Max for posttraumatic stress disorder. ........
