Hijack

Hijack is a seven-part thriller for Apple TV+ starring Idris Elba.

The show is told in real time and follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven-hour flight, as authorities on the ground scramble for answers.

Elba will star as an accomplished negotiator in the business world who needs to step up and use all his guile to try and save the lives of the passengers — but his high-risk strategy could be his undoing.

60Forty is co-producing the series with Idiot Lamp Productions in association with Green Door Pictures.
