In the first season of HIJACK, Flight KA29 is hijacked during its seven-hour journey from Dubai to London. Sam Nelson (Idris Elba) —an accomplished corporate negotiator—tries using his professional skills to save everyone on board. This high-risk strategy threatens to be his undoing, and even brings his own family into the firing line.
In the thrilling second season, a Berlin underground train and its commuters are taken hostage, while authorities scramble to save hundreds of lives. Sam Nelson finds himself once again at the heart of the crisis on board, where one wrong decision could spell disaster.
