Seemingly unrelated people wake up on a plane. Very soon they discover that US is under attack. When a dead body is discovered paranoia kicks in. Could these random people work together to survive? And why were they taken on the first place?
The market these days is flooded with low budget horror movies and most of them have nothing on offer but cheap thrills and weak CGI. CHARIOT is not one of those films. It is focused, compact and cleverly written. You can start watching it out of curiosity and will stay with it until the credits' roll. It has some descent acting and characters you genuinely care about. On the negative side - it is hard to finish the movie like this. The writers put themselves into a corner because every possible ending would ruin the story told so far. So they have chosen the only option available. It is frustrating in a way, but a satisfying one all the same.
It is interesting to see how little money may be required to tell a good story. With the similar premise Liam Neeson movie NON-STOP hitting theaters soon it is interesting to see if the big budget flick can pull a better rabbit out of the same hat!

Seven strangers wake up on board a plane, with no idea why they're there, or who their fellow passengers are, it seems as though the world below is gone as they know it, and they must work together to survive.
I honestly had no idea where this was going, or how it was going to end, I was expecting it to turn into a sort of horror, but instead it turned out to be a thriller, shocking to consider it's inspired by real life events.
I can't really understand why this film got a generally negative reaction, surely it's low budget, and some of the acting is a little questionable at times, but this film was packed with intrigue and suspense, you truly had no idea who was involved, or how it was going to end, I thought it was quite well written.
I suppose Cole was the hero of the piece, and probably the best character here, and for my money the best acting performance also.
7/10.

I'd recommend this movie
Overall I actually thought this was a good movie. There were two actors who I felt spoiled the movie, Anthony Montgomery (Cole), and Brina Palencia(Emily). Montgomery seemed to be thrown into that role, he seemed out of character, and his accent did sit right with me.
I think the best actress was Michelle Sherrill followed by Leslie Hippensteel. Whoever wrote this script must love calling women the b-word because it's said throughout the movie in such a context that makes the dialog appear to be coming from the screenwriter which also appears sexist in lieu of it actually developing from within character itself.

It was an nteresting movie, Though I did not like the ending. All I want to know is what words popped up at the end of the movie Chariot? In the final scene, you see the plane descending and the two F-150's coming up behind it. The screen goes blank, but then it says, "in February 2012 a civilian evacuation program code named operation Chariot was terminated in a closed session of Congress. Five witnesses testified at the hearing, the names of whom remain classified....." It then says something else, but my TV is messed up and I couldn't read it. Can anyone please tell me what the last sentence was?
Amazing... please do take time to see this. I downloaded and saw and it was time... no regrets at all... nice suspense... good story line... and... everything comes together (mostly at the end)...
It is nice so please do take time out to see it... doesn't answer all the questions but does answer the right ones!!!
nice acting by all (except the pilot) but overall the concept was very well captured and kept you on the edge of the seat... i actually FF'ed some parts to get to the end quickly... yes it makes you do that...
So if you are bored and have some time for a nice movie...
.... Just relax on a comfy sofa on a nice evening and see it!
