Storyline

A U.S. domestic flight is hijacked by psychopathic terrorists who are demanding the release of their leader from a U.K. prison. One at a time, these low-lifes begin ruthlessly & cold-bloodedly murdering passengers & crew members when their demands are not met. But what no one - including the terrorists - knows is that an armed police officer is on board, and he and the other passengers stealthily plot to overpower their tormentors. After a female flight attendant is viciously murdered by the ringleader, they strike. The police officer guns down a terrorist standing in an aisle, while two flight attendants throw scalding hot coffee in the face of the terrorist leader. A third terrorist is overpowered by other passengers when he tries to come to his friends' aid, and the fourth in the cockpit is knocked unconscious by the police officer & flight crew. Now the psychopaths are bound & at the mercy of the people they had abused & tortured for hours... Written by medic249a2
