Skyjacked (1972)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069278
Decent thriller with good acting on the part of both Charlton Heston as the Captain of the hijacked Boeing 707 and a young James Brolin as the hijacker.
It features all the cliched characters you will come to expect in a standard 1970's disaster film:
the U.S. Senator who is on a secret mission for the President and he just happens to be on the wrong flight;
the young lovers couple: 20 year old Susan Dey's first movie role, she went on to play in the Partridge Family and in L.A. Law;
the expectant mother who is not due for another month but of course, excitement and tensions in a movie like this will always induce early labor;
the airliner co-pilot who is in love with the Head Stewardess and hoping she will fall in love with him;
the Head Stewardess who is having an affair with Charlton Heston's Captain character, who is of course married.
Heck! You can't get any better than this bunch of God Forsaken paper thin characters!
I do have a complaint about the accuracy of this film when the hijacked airliner is diverted into restricted Russian airspace before landing in Moscow.
That's not a 1970's Russian jet fighter and Russian soldiers don't use those automatic rifles.
4/5
