Who can you trust when it's all on the line?
Created by Jim Field Smith, George Kay
On Apple TV
A high-stakes real-time thriller centered on a hostage negotiation aboard a hijacked plane, where trust and strategy are weapons as dangerous as the threat itself.
Expert negotiator Sam Nelson is in for the ride of his life—and so is everyone on board with him—after a group of hijackers take control. Sam will try every move in his playbook to take them down...as the stakes grow higher by the second.
