Hijack IS WOKE

During a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London, an accomplished corporate negotiator must use his professional skills to save the passengers when their plane is hijacked.

The story takes place entirely in real time aboard Kingdom Flight 29, a commercial plane flying to London. Shortly after takeoff, a highly organized group of hijackers violently takes control of the aircraft, throwing the passengers and crew into a state of panic. Sam Nelson, a passenger and top-tier corporate negotiator returning home to reconcile with his ex-wife, realizes the immense danger they face. Instead of reacting with raw aggression, he decides to use his specialized psychological tactics and understanding of human nature to engage with the hijackers, subtly undermining their plans while pretending to cooperate.

As the plane crosses international borders, tensions escalate both inside the cabin and on the ground, where air traffic controllers and government officials scramble to figure out the terrorists' true motives. The hijackers face unexpected internal friction, while Sam secretly coordinates with the flight's captain and a few brave passengers to mount a quiet resistance. With fuel running low and military fighter jets closing in, Sam races against time to outmaneuver the hijackers before authorities are forced to shoot the commercial airliner out of the sky.
