Projectile Motion Question?

The movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" begins with a pilot dropping a bottle out of an airplane. It is recovered by a surprise native below, who thinks it is a message from the gods. If the plane from which the bottle was dropped was flying at an altitude of 500. m, and the bottle lands 400. m horizontally from the initial dropping point, how fast was the plane flying when the bottle was released?
