The Cinemaholic's 10 Best Airplane Hijack Movies of All Time

"Plane hijacking is a really scary thing to see. The prospects of dozens of passengers being stuck in the sky with a couple of psychopaths with nowhere to go can freak anyone out. And then, thankfully, a brave young person comes to the rescue saving all the passengers. The fear that appears on the face of each hostage and the terrorizing looks of the hijacker directly touch the viewer's nerves. The pace of such a film is really high, and hence, it is very challenging to make a film on airplane hijacking. One has to keep in mind that the whole film is set within an airplane. So, there is not much to be shown to the audience. And yet, the director has to accommodate everything in the film. Airplane hijacking films don't have a huge scope, and hence, it is rare that these movies find much success. With that said, here is the list of top hijacking movies ever." - thecinemaholic.com
