Full Plot Details

Narrated by Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects, Vanity Fair, Miller's Crossing), this seven-time Best Documentary award-winning film (Silver Lake Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival) is the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankind's relationship with death ever captured on film. Hailed by many viewers as a "life-transformational film," Flight from Death uncovers death anxiety as a possible root cause of many of our behaviors on a psychological, spiritual, and cultural level. Following the work of the late cultural anthropologist, Ernest Becker, and his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Denial of Death, this documentary explores the ongoing research of a group of social psychologists that may forever change the way we look at ourselves and the world. Over the last twenty-five years, this team of researchers has conducted over 300 laboratory studies, which substantiate Becker's claim that death anxiety is a primary motivator of human behavior, specifically aggression and violence. Flight from Death features an all-star cast of scholars, authors, philosophers, and researchers including Sam Keen, Robert Jay Lifton, Irvin Yalom, and Sheldon Solomon culminating in a film that is "not only thought-provoking but also entertaining and put together with a lot of class" (Eric Campos, Film Threat). Three years in the making and beautifully photographed in eight different countries, Flight from Death is "a stimulating, ultimately life-affirming film, filled with big ideas and revelatory footage" (Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times).

Movie Reviews

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 7/10 by William ArnoldIt's initially a huge downer, but it becomes more fascinating as it moves along.
Seattle Times - 4/10 by Ted FryThe documentary's rambling good intentions don't meet its goal of presenting an interesting or particularly illuminating view of the universally recognized concept of death anxiety.
User Review - 10/10 by clarice jthis movie forever changed the way i view the world and my place in it. i have not experienced much death in my life thank God but from this movie i learned that it's with me everyday motivating my every move. fascinating. do yourself a favor and buy this movie when it comes out on DVD.
User Review - 10/10 by mocha lSome movies entertain and then say "goodbye." This film on the other hand becomes etched in your thought for all of eternity. Truely fascinating, uplifting, and remarkable. This might be the best documenary I have ever seen. It's timeless, and not just a period piece. I recomend this film to anyone who is mortal.
User Review - 10/10 by David MFlight from Death: The Quest for Immortality is the quintessential existential documentary of its time. While not a movie intended for entertainment like many of the rest on this list, it is well worth watching. It is based largely on the work of Ernest Becker and Terror Management Theory. It's a movie to make you think and feel.
User Review - 10/10 by Steven Cthis is a documentary that must be seen, by everyone - it should be a requisite to life... shown in every school... amazing
User Review - 10/10 by Justin NIf Becker is right... You would think that having a hope of eternal life in heaven would make people less violent.
User Review - 10/10 by Nikole LVery well done. An incredibly intriguing theory, and the data is quite compelling. I strongly recommend this.
User Review - 10/10 by Tina PYou'll never see a more important and enlightening documentary
