Watch: Liam Neeson Has the Master Plan in This Exclusive "Non-Stop" Clip Premiere

Get ready for Mr. Taken to fly high and whoop all kinds of you-know-what.

For his next action flick, Liam Neeson is ready to go high-concept—as in, "40,000 feet in the air" high.

In the new Universal Pictures thriller Non-Stop, Neeson switches away from kidnappers and captured family members and boards a transatlantic flight heading from New York City to London, playing a U.S. Air Marshal who experiences an all-new kind of turbulence. While in the air, he receives strange, threatening text messages demanding the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account; if the money doesn't start flowing, someone on the flight will die every 20 minutes.

In the hands of director Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown and the underrated Orphan), Non-Stop looks to capitalize on that white-knuckle premise, along with, of course, Neeson doing what he does best lately: being the ultimate badass. Here, Complex has an exclusive clip from the film, one of its (somewhat) less-chaotic moments in which Neeson's character, Bill Marks, explains his plan to some of the flight's understandably rattled passengers. Also featured in the scene: Academy Award nominee Lupita Nyong'o, who's currently wowing audiences in 12 Years a Slave.

Check the clip out above, and get ready for Neeson to save the day once again when Non-Stop opens in theaters nationwide on February 28.
