Skyjacked

Streaming video - 1972

An airliner full of people, a bomb hidden somewhere on board, a hijacker suffering from Post Traumatic Stress-and a country poised to shoot down the aircraft that's been Skyjacked! Academy Award winner Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments) stars as the pilot trying to keep his passengers alive as the danger steadily increases, and James Brolin ("Hotel," "The Reagans") stars as the war hero psychologically damaged by Viet Nam who may be responsible for the deaths of hundreds. Now, as the plane hurtles toward Moscow, the Russians say they will shoot the jet down as soon as it crosses the frontier.
