Airplane hijack thriller from RoboCop (2014) director Jose Padilha based on 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight from Tel Aviv to Paris. Stars Daniel Brühl and Rosamund Pike.
In 1976, four hijackers took a plane hostage and forced it to land in Entebbe, Uganda, while they demanded the release of dozens of Palestinian terrorists. The ticking-clock thriller follows the hijackers and hostages as well as the political leaders trying to decide whether to negotiate or send an elite special forces unit on a dramatic rescue mission to free the hostages.
