Very little even really happens. Despite several passengers getting named parts I can barely remember anything about any of them. Go to Full Review

Based on a true incident, this is an efficiently told saga of in-flight terror that sticks the landing. Go to Full Review

4/5
First-time director Kim ... packs this taught, lean thriller with life-threatening incident and period-specific peccadillos to amuse and appal his audience in between the breathless thrills and political grandstanding. Go to Full Review

Ha Jung-Soo and Yeo Jin-Goo elevate this otherwise familiar but tense plane-hijacking thriller. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/15/2024
Hijack 1971 delivers everything that viewers can expect from a high-octane, well-acted thriller about a plane being hijacked in the air. The fact that this movie is based on a true story makes it more interesting. Go to Full Review

Ken 07/18/2024 Always good to have a well-acted movie based on a true story. I never once was bored as the movie had good pacing. Subtitles were just fine for me. I wished I wouldve caught Escape, but this movie was a great substitute for me! Really enjoyed it! See more gahyun 07/16/2024 Movie is perfect but half of the movie didn't had subtitles. I was ok to watch but my husband needed subtitles. See more Ab 07/11/2024 Unique story, good suspense, emotional. And some crazy flying skills. See more Max W Feb 23 As a directorial debut, the overall pacing and execution are commendable, but Ha Jung-woo's room for expression is limited given the subject matter. The script's constraints also prevent the film from breaking new ground, keeping it confined within the framework of a low-budget, single-setting political thriller. See more Alan M Feb 17 This was a fantastic movie. The storyline, the acting and the visual effects were brilliant. Definitely one to add to your must watch list. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 09/05/2024 It's based on a true story but don't research it beforehand, go in cold. You'll appreciate the suspense elements of this flick that much more.
