20 Movies Destroyed By Their Plot Holes

9. Non-Stop - The Nonsensical Evil Plan

First things first: no-one goes to watch a Liam Neeson action film for a realistic plot. To do so would be an exercise in futility. Nonetheless, even with those expectations in place, there is no getting around Non-Stop. It makes works like the Taken films seem like British Kitchen Sink Realism by comparison.

Non-Stop presents its audience with a tantalizing setup. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) is on a flight from New York to London, and he gets texts informing him that a passenger will be killed every 20 minutes unless certain financial demands are met. What unfolds from this great premise is one of the dumbest action flicks of the 2010s, maybe even ever. 

Nothing about this film makes the slightest bit of sense, with the villains somehow getting around this tiny closed space and committing numerous murders without anyone seeing them doing it. An awful lot of things, such as how they killed one of the pilots, are never explained in any way, and there's a reason for that: there was no way the two hijackers could've pulled all of this off.
