Hijack 1971

- both movies are based on true events
- takes place on a plane
- pilots and FA do their best in saving their passengers

In 1971, former Korean Air Force fighter pilot Tae In works as a pilot for a commercial airline. He faces a crisis inside a hijacked flight with the passengers, including Yong Dae, and his crew members, including captain Gyu Sik and flight attendant Ok Sun.

they are similar since its on a plain but the Korean one is more about hijacking the plain and leading it to a specific destination {north Korea }

- both stories are based off of real-life events
- emphasis on the politics surrounding these events; for 1971, it was north/south korea relations and 1987 was based off the gwangju uprising leading to the june democracy movement
- heartbreaking. you will need tissues
- character-driven stories. the writer and director cleverly rely on the people and their decisions, who are the highlight of these events

- both are terrorist/hostage situations
- both movies have main character ha jungwoo (love this actor)
- high tension/thriller; though the terror live has more outside entities involved (the government) while hijack 1971 focuses on the crew, the hijacker, and the passengers
