Plot for Fight or Flight
The trailer for Fight or Flight was released on March 27, 2025, and is available on the official Vertical YouTube channel. The trailer begins with Katherine briefing Lucas Reyes, a mercenary, about a "black hat terrorist" called The Ghost. She offers him a deal that if he delivers the terrorist alive, he will get his life back. The scene then shows Lucas boarding a plane from Bangkok to San Francisco.
Katherine is soon alerted by Kyle that The Ghost has a bounty over their head in many countries and the plane is filled with assassins sent to kill them both. The clip then shows one of the assassins attacking Lucas, and they engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat in the washroom of the plane.
After hiding the body, Lucas then informs the air hostess waiting outside the washroom that he is looking for someone whom people are trying to kill. She reveals to him that she is the hacker that everyone is looking for. The trailer shows multiple fight scenes, including the duo as they partner up to take down the assassins. The fight sequences are gory and comical at the same time.
Towards the end of the clip, someone puts up a bounty on Lucas, which alerts all the assassins on the plane. The Ghost finds a chainsaw in the luggage, which she hands over to Lucas to use as a weapon, and he goes berserk with it in a state of joy. The clip closes on a cliffhanger as one of the assassins shoots out the window, causing the plane to crash.
