The Skyjacker (2008)

Synopsis

In the 1970s, an unnamed loner (Jeff Pickett) quietly hijacks an airplane mid-flight by informing the crew he has a bomb. While awaiting the cash he's demanded, the anxious criminal smokes up, guzzles plenty of booze and falls for a lovely flight attendant. Co-starring Joan Alperin and Lizzy Davis, this deliberately paced drama inspired by actual events premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
