US Trailer for Korean Plane Thriller ‘Hijack 1971’ Based on a True Story

“We’re heading North. There’s no dodging this.” Sony Pictures has revealed the official trailer for an action thriller survival movie called Hijack 1971, based on a true story of a flight in winter of 1971. It just opened in South Korea last week, and will also be opening in select US theaters starting next week – glad to see them finally releasing films the same time they open in other countries. Hijack 1971, also known as just Hijacking in Korean, depicts the story of people fighting for their lives in an extreme situation when a passenger plane is hijacked in the air space of Korea in 1971. Starring Ha Jung-woo as Tae-in, the first officer of the plane; Sung Dong-il as Gyu-sik, captain of the flight; Yeo Jin-goo as Yong-dae, the terrorist hijacker; and Chae Soo-bin as Lee Ok-soon, a flight attendant on the flight. The hijacker used homemade grenades on a twin prop plane, causing injuries including to one of the pilots – who still try their best to land the plane safely. Looks seriously intense, as one would expect a hijacking movie to look, though this does seem over-the-top. // Continue Reading ›
