Following a ridiculously awful flight that leads to his pet's death, Nashawn Wade files a lawsuit against the airline, and wins a multimillion-dollar settlement. Determined to create a better flying experience, Nashawn starts his own airline, one that caters to an African-American clientele. Going into business with a tricked-out plane piloted by the smooth Capt. Mack, the airline hits a snag when it has to deal with the family of Elvis Hunkee.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Long before landing, the movie's tireless minstrel-show mentality sends it into a nosedive.

rotten:
This nearly plotless movie follows the maiden voyage of NWA (a moniker that seems to be the extent of the film's wit) through a torrent of stale ghetto jokes in the vein exhausted years ago by the Wayans brothers.

rotten:
An hour and a half of real airplane turbulence is better than sitting through the bad, offensive material that makes up Soul Plane.

rotten:
Makes up for what it lacks in genuine humor by overdosing viewers with outrageous sexuality and outsize stereotypes.

Sloppy, uneven, vulgar, lowbrow and often very funny, Jessy Terrero's debut movie might be called Airport Car Wash Scary Movie.
