Send Help (2026)

Socially awkward and downtrodden corporate strategist Linda Liddle anticipates a long-promised promotion from Bradley Preston, her late boss's son, upon his becoming CEO. Instead, Bradley promotes Donovan, a recent hire and former fraternity brother, while sidelining Linda in a dead-end role, citing her unattractiveness and lack of charisma.

When Linda confronts him, Bradley, purporting to be impressed by her boldness, invites her to accompany him, Donovan, and other executives on a business trip to Bangkok to help finalize a company merger. During the flight, Donovan humiliates Linda by playing her audition tape for the Survivor TV show. While passing through a storm, the plane suffers engine failure and rapid altitude loss. During explosive decompression, Donovan attempts to strangle Linda and take her seat, but she stabs him with a fork. Everyone except Linda and Bradley are sucked from the aircraft before it crashes into the sea.

The next morning, Linda washes up on a remote island in the Gulf of Thailand and finds Bradley alive but badly injured. With no other survivors, Linda builds a shelter and secures food and water. Bradley relies on Linda but continues treating her as a subordinate. In response, Linda abandons him for two days. When she returns, Bradley is near collapse from dehydration. Though resentful, he gradually accepts her authority. Linda proves adept at survival, catching fish and killing a wild boar. While exploring the island's far side, Linda avoids signalling a passing boat.

As Bradley recovers, Linda teaches him survival skills. She claims the island's other side is filled with poisonous plants. One night, while drinking homemade fruit wine, she confesses she allowed her abusive husband to drive drunk, causing his death. Bradley appears sympathetic and offers to cook, but puts poisonous berries into the food so he can escape on a makeshift raft. Waves destroy the raft, and Linda, having survived, rescues Bradley.

In retaliation, Linda temporarily paralyzes Bradley with octopus toxin and pretends to castrate him, asserting control over him and their situation. While gathering fruit, Linda encounters Bradley's fiancée, Zuri, who arrived by boat after the official rescue effort ended. To protect her new life and purpose, Linda leads Zuri and the boat captain to an unstable cliff, where both fall to their deaths. She returns to camp, shaken and withdrawn, allowing Bradley to hunt alone. Bradley discovers Zuri's buried remains.

Confronted, Linda claims the deaths were accidental, but Bradley accuses her of murder and attacks her. In the ensuing fight, Bradley injures Linda's eye before she stabs him. Bradley escapes and discovers a luxurious beach house on the island's other side. Linda follows, confessing she knew about the house since seeing the first boat and that she caused Zuri and the captain's fatal fall. Linda threatens Bradley with an unloaded shotgun. Bradley pleads for his life, claiming he loves her and wants to remain on the island. However, Linda notices Bradley is concealing a weapon before he seizes the shotgun. Linda overpowers and kills him with a golf club.

A year later, a rescued Linda is now a wealthy and beloved celebrity, capitalizing on her sole survivor fame. At a celebrity golf tournament, Linda promotes a film adaptation of her best-selling memoir and announces she is going to write a self-help book, saying, "No help is coming, so you'd better start saving yourself."
