Tensions flare as a gang of ruthless hijackers led by Ray Petrie (Ian McShane, Deadwood) seize a British plane as it is landing in Scandinavia. Tough as nails Head of Security Nils Tahlvik (Sean Connery, The Untouchables, Goldfinger) is tasked with meeting demands from the terrorists, but is distracted by another simultaneous event - the British ambassador has been taken hostage in his own residence and held for ransom. With time running out and a string of life or death decisions to be made, it is up to Colonel Tahlvik and his team of expert soldiers to free the ambassador and ensure that no one falls victim to the diabolical demands of the enemy.

Proper badass Sean Connery against two cooperating groups of terrorists. The film moves along, it doesn't lack suspense and the final showdown is really good. Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack is reminiscent of his later The Edge and probably stands out the most during the brilliantly shot plane chase scene.
