"The plot centres on the Libyan-backed
Abu Nidal Organization's hijacking of
Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi, Pakistan,
on 5 September 1986. The film is shown
from the point of view of the flight's
head purser, Neerja Bhanot, who thwarted
the hijack attempt by alerting the pilots,
thus grounding the plane..."
My Comments:
Mostly a good production. More importantly,
it tells a very moving true story about
Neerja Bhadot and her touching heroism
which saved a lot of lives. I had not
heard about her before...the movie
really does a good job honoring her.
