This video stars actress Evan Rachel Wood and actors Terrance Stamp and Brady Corbett as passengers on a plane that is in serious trouble. Unlike the crash that is the subject of Bright Eyes singer Conor Oberst's opening monologue, this plane is getting repeatedly swallowed by a giant cloud puppet.
