Suffering mutely the rage and frustration incited by a mouthy child and an intrusive seatmate.

Enduring stoically the weirdly inappropriate announcement from the cockpit.

All backstopped by the incessant whine of jet engines.

By the final scene, you expect the main dummy-character’s head to explode.

The flight attendant’s landing announcement comes as a relief: “We told you we would get you there, so you are there now. And that’s it… you can get off the plane now.”

Not a moment too soon.
