Heather Graham and Jesse Metcalfe on their new faith-based true story drama, On A Wing and a Prayer
  • last year
Arriving just in time for the Easter weekend, the credence of a family in peril and the determination of the stranger who can save them come together in On A Wing and A Prayer, a faith-based drama streaming on Prime Video from April 7th.

Directed by Sean McNamara, written by Brian Egeston, and based on the incredible true story of Doug and Terri White and their harrowing journey to safety, On A Wing and A Prayer tells of their mid-flight danger when the pilot flying the White family from the funeral of Doug’s brother in Florida back to their home in Louisiana suddenly dies.

An amateur pilot at best, it falls onto Doug to fly his family to safety. Still stricken with grief, Doug looks to the faith of his devoted wife and the on-the-ground experience of fellow pilot Kari Sorensen to talk him through a safe landing.

An optimistic affair that embraces the spirit of hope and one’s own belief in a higher power, On A Wing and A Prayer is perfect family fodder for the Easter season. As the film launches globally, Peter Gray spoke with two of the film’s stars, Heather Graham (who plays Terri White) and Jesse Metcalfe (Kari Sorensen), about not working together, if they met their real-life counterparts, and if they learned anything new about themselves or their craft during filming.
