Hijack Plot/Synopsis
A flight going from Dubai to London starts off as any does, with long queues, baggage stuff, and tying seatbelts. At the start of the flight, everything is normal. However, over the course of seven hours, things start to change. Gunmen start barging into the different compartments, they take over the cockpit, and Elba’s character is left there staring at all of this in shock. Following all the events of the hijack in real time, this show explores how this one character manages to come forward as the one secretly saving the plane from its tragic end.
Apparently, Elba’s character is a negotiator and is good at handling things like this. After sending a message to everyone he loves and knows, he gets to work trying to negotiate peace for the 200 people on board. Things are already going incredibly bad within the first hour. However, the negotiator has a plan to make good on and for now, that means making sure everyone on the plane is on the same page. None of the passengers has to try taking over. They have to wait till all of this comes to an end.
