What happens

Airborne is a 2012 British horror film written by Paul Chronnell and directed by Dominic Burns, who describes it as a tongue-in-cheek film in the tradition of The Twilight Zone. A first trailer was released in 2011. It was reported in the media that it presents Mark Hamill's first appearance in a British film; however, Hamill had acted previously in the 1982 British film Britannia Hospital. Airborne's introduction, before sporting a voice-over by Mark Hamill, refers in writing to a so-called Firelight Protocol. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
