A Hijacking
Directed by Tobias Lindholm
Produced by DR, Nordisk Film Denmark
A tense, psychologically grounded thriller about the grinding psychological toll of hostage negotiation, where the real danger lies in miscalculation and human frailty rather than action.
Tensions are high after a Danish freighter is captured and held for ransom by Somali pirates, leading to weeks of high-stakes negotiations – and an escalating potential for explosive violence.
