One of the early '70s disaster films, which is routine at best. Go to Full Review

delysid d 12/17/2021 whats up with the low rating fellas? this movie is great See more 11/18/2018 Rather silly Airport derivitive. Not very good. See more 06/25/2016 It did some cool stuff, but like, can you write a red herring or something in there jeez. See more 05/08/2016 Hilariously clichéd hijacked plane popcorn. The Zuckers must have used this as the template for Airplane!: it has the lot - pregnant women, senators, shell-shocked Korean War vets... ...and Ben-Hur piloting the plane while smoking a pipe! For the first 45 minutes it's hugely enjoyable as long as you've switched off your brain. A pity that the second half suddenly slows to a crawl and what little action is confined to James Brolin's neurotic twitching. See more 02/20/2016 One of the lesser known disaster films from 1970's despite starring Charlton Heston is pretty decent. Takes something relatively routine (several characters in a precarious position) and adds plenty of suspense into the mix though I don't think a plane being hijacked had been done at that point so relatively original. Good production and score while being a good distraction. Nothing really special but not awful either, unlike what came about towards the end of the decade. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 06/16/2015 Skyjacked is a decent film. It is about crazed Vietnam vet bomber who hijacks a Boeing 707. Charlton Heston and James Brolin give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. John Guillermin did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the adventure and drama. See more Read all reviews
