Hijack is a real-time thriller starring Idris Elba as a negotiator on a hijacked flight. Can he save the passengers and himself in the end?
With a star cast led by the intimidating Idris Elba in the role of a master negotiator, Apple TV+'s Hijack has managed to keep the tension high throughout the seven episodes of a stellar Season 1. Without revealing much, the thriller miniseries created by George Kay and Jim Field Smith keeps raising the stake with each episode, allowing Season 1 to end on an action-packed high note.
When the Iraqi ATC gets suspicious about the captain’s absence from the cockpit, the hijackers force Robin to make it look like everything’s normal. Although Robin clears the air about the plan’s safety, he does deviate the plan from its normal course, leading to suspicions among the employees at the British ATC. Alice Sinclair , one of the controllers at the British ATC, finds the false alarm suspicious and alerts Zahra about the developments regarding flight KA29.
The situation keeps getting heated as the Romanian fighter jets prepare to attack the civilian aircraft while the hijackers struggle to save their friend Lewis from dying. Thankfully, a crisis is averted when the British government confirms that all the hijackers are British nationals who are targeting Britain and not Romania, allowing the jets to retreat. Thanks to David Miller , a doctor on board, Lewis is also given a longer lease of life.
Hearing that the families of their friends would be in danger, Lewis takes out the pen that was helping him breathe through his lungs, succumbing to his injuries. At the same time, Daniel reaches Lewis's home after tracing him from the message that was sent through his phone by Sam. Lewis's mother confirms that Lewis' father was shot and Lewis was sent instead, confirming Terry's revelation that the hijackers are being forced to hijack the flight against their will.
Why Was Flight KA29 Hijacked By the Cheapside Firm? Just as Stuart was about to execute another passenger, Sam flings into action and takes him down. But before much action could take place, one of the passengers, known to Sam as Amanda , comes out of the toilet with a gun in her hand and rushes towards the cockpit. On the way, she shoots Captain Robin and shuts herself in the cockpit. Outside the cockpit, Sam convinces Stuart to give up his gun — the only loaded one on the plane.
Unaware that Edgar has been shot by John who has cheated his partner, Amanda proceeds with the plan in order to save her daughter. Thankfully, Sam puts his excellent negotiation skills to use and convinces Amanda to land the plane, suggesting that the perpetrators will anyway kill her daughter whereas by landing the plane, she can help a lot of people.
