When hijackers take over a Japanese passenger flight and demand to be flown to Pyongyang, a behind-the-scenes operator launches an offbeat plan to steer events toward a safer landing. As officials, pilots, and competing agendas collide, the crisis turns into a tense, darkly funny scramble where perception matters as much as control.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a hijacking story that mixes suspense with dark, absurd humor and pointed commentary, in the vein of Kill Boksoon or Veteran; Not for you if you want a straight, serious thriller.
Pros: wild, unpredictable ride; sharp political satire; funny, tense moments | Cons: uneven tone shifts; over-the-top acting; may feel dull
