Popular British-Sierra Leonean actor Idris Elba has once again graced the screens, this time in the highly anticipated series “Hijack” on Apple TV+.
The seven-hour suspenseful journey takes viewers on a thrilling ride, as Elba’s character, Sam Nelson, finds himself thrust into the role of a reluctant hero when a flight he is on is hijacked.
The series, reminiscent of classic action films like “Die Hard” and “Passenger 57,” captivates audiences with its intense storyline and outstanding performances.
In “Hijack,” the tension builds gradually as airline officials begin to suspect that something is awry, despite the flight crew’s coerced assurances. The challenge lies in controlling the passengers, with some hot-headed individuals eager to mount a defiant stand, while others attempt to strategize their way out of the crisis.
Amidst the chaos, Idris Elba’s character stands out as the unflappable hero, displaying calm and resourcefulness in the face of danger.
“Hijack” offers a refreshing change for Elba, who has recently received mixed reviews for his involvement in projects like the “Luther” franchise and the rogue-lion thriller “Beast.”
Apple TV+ has raised the excitement levels by making six out of the seven episodes of “Hijack” available in advance, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the gripping conclusion. While the real-time premise of the series requires occasional suspension of disbelief, the story cruises along at a high altitude, promising to keep viewers glued to their seats throughout.
