Business negotiator Sam Nelson is facing every traveller’s nightmare when the plane he’s on is hijacked. Sam, played by Luther star Idris Elba, has settled into his seat on a London-bound plane when an armed gang strikes, in new seven-part thriller Hijack.
While we’ve seen aircraft-based dramas before, Idris says this one is different as it sees an ordinary person being caught up in the action rather than a guns-blazing action hero.
