Based on a true hijack situation back in 1985 when TWA 847 was hijacked by iranian terrorists,bound for Rome from Athens we see Lindsay Wagner playing purser uli derrickson and the trails and tribulations she suffered that day also we see passengers and crew violently assualted on a number of occasions in particular when uli is collecting the passengers passports and she puts herself at risk by concealing the solidiers and divers military id cards.i throughly enjoyed this film and it was gripping from start to finish and some of the scenes were quite disturbing one in mind when uli has to sing to the terrorist. Lindsey was great in this film from a magazine article i read shortly after the film was released miss Wagner was subject to everything Mrs derickson was subjected to on that awful day so go on girl keep up the good work
