In November 2019, Lionsgate Films acquired distribution rights to the film,[5][6] but in November 2020, it abandoned the project after failing to obtain production insurance that would cover a COVID-19 outbreak, as the studio did not want to risk the film's $50 million budget,[7] and Solstice Studios acquired the rights to the film.[8] However, in May 2021, Lionsgate re-acquired the rights to The Plane, in what Andreas Wiseman from Deadline Hollywood described as a "case of high-profile Hollywood volleyball."[9]
In August 2021, Kelly Gale,[10]Mike Colter,[11]Daniella Pineda,[12]Yoson An,[13] Remi Adeleke, Haleigh Hekking, Lilly Krug, Joey Slotnick, and Oliver Trevena joined the cast.[14] Production began that same month in Puerto Rico.[15] On a podcast, Colter said the film was going to focus more on character development than action sequences.[16] On October 11, 2021, it was reported that filming was close to finishing and that Tony Goldwyn and Paul Ben-Victor would also star.[17]
