On A Wing And A Prayer: Release Date; Trailer & Where To Watch

On A Wing And A Prayer

Dennis Quaid is the star of On A Wing And A Prayer, an upcoming movie that is based on an inspirational true story.

The movie is set for release this Easter time, which is quite fitting as the story hinges on the faith of its main character.

If you have been looking forward to this movie (or if you are looking for something faith-based to watch with your family), we have all the details you need below.

What is On A Wing And A Prayer about?

The movie is based on the real-life experiences of Doug White, a man who was forced to land a plane that he was a passenger on when the pilot suddenly died. Also on the plane was White’s family so not only did he have to save himself from imminent doom but the people he loved and cared for as well.

“I’m in the good Lord’s hands flying this,” White said over the radio to air traffic controllers, and he meant what he said. He was a committed Christian who relied on his limited skills and Divine intervention when he tried to land the plane to safety.

You can learn more about White’s experiences here but if you would rather avoid spoilers, you will have the opportunity to learn more about his impromptu survival mission when the movie lands on its expected release date.

When will On A Wing And A Prayer be released?

The movie will stream exclusively on Prime Video on April 7th 2023 at approximately 12am (GMT).

Who stars in On A Wing And A Prayer?

Dennis Quaid takes the lead role and joining him in the cast is Heather Graham, who stars as Doug’s wife. Jesse Metcalfe (John Tucker Must Die) also has a lead role as a man named Kai who tries to help Doug land the plane.

Other members of the cast include:

  • Selena Anduze
  • Roger Anthony
  • Tim Blanchard
  • Jessi Case
  • Paden Fallis

Who is the director of On A Wing And A Prayer?

Sean McNamara is at the helm of this new movie. He has over 70 directing credits to his name, including the movies Soul Surfer, Hoovey, and The Miracle Season which also had Christian themes.

He is also the director of The King’s Daughter, a much-delayed movie that was up for several awards this year. Unfortunately, those awards were Razzies rather than Oscars (the movie really is terrible) so here’s hoping On A Wing And A Prayer is better than that badly scripted misfire.
