English Crime Syndicate with untold manpower and reach hijacks plane full of British passengers to force the UK government to release two of their jailed kingpins while making a fortune shorting the airline and insurance company stocks. Not only does this crime family have dedicated murder squads in several countries, it manages to to get a catch of pistols and a half dozen coerced hijackers past security and on the plane. Add corrupt stock traders, ground crews and air traffic controllers to the mix. So many blackmailed people working in murderous concert that it beggars belief. One of the hijackers is a housewife doppelgänger who kills quickly yet reluctantly and can fly the modern airliner. Not only does the plane fly willy nilly over European capitals and threatened by fighter planes along the way, but governments lack the will to defend themselves against a possible 911. Ildris Alba is an unwitting passenger caught in this hi jinx. He manages to antagonize yet ingratiate himself with the bad guys, but in reality he should have been shot or beaten unconscious any number of times. He organizes the passengers into resistance by his dynamism. If you leave your common sense behind you can enjoy the show.
