Travel + Leisure shared a selection of the best travel movies worth watching. Here are 5 movies that can inspire and immerse you in the atmosphere of travel.

Passenger 57

A movie about the confrontation between a British murderer and terrorist and a determined airline security officer. How will this struggle end for the passengers of Flight 163 and how will a personal tragedy help thwart the terrorists' plans? Find out by watching this 1992 action movie.

Flightplan

This is a 2005 mystery thriller in which a recently widowed American aeronautical engineer returns to the United States from Berlin with her 6-year-old daughter and her husband's body. However, during the flight, she loses her daughter and tries to prove her sanity not only to others, but also to herself.

The Terminal

This is a touching and sad movie about a man from Eastern Europe who arrives in the United States. During the flight, a coup d'état occurs in his country, so he cannot return home, and on the other hand, he cannot get to the United States. Because of this, he literally lives in the terminal, where he makes friends and enemies.

Alive

This is a poignant disaster movie that tells the story of a group of young students whose plane crashed in the Andes. The plot is based on the story of a real-life disaster and an incredible rescue. We recommend you to see whether these people managed to survive and how their fate eventually turned out.

United 93

This is a feature film that was made 5 years after the terrible tragedy of September 11, 2001. It tells the story of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed during a terrorist attack in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The scenario is slightly different from the real events, but the actions take place in a direct sequential order.
