Set against the backdrop of an airplane journey, the film tells the story of a federal air marshal fighting wits with a hijacker.
Bill Max (Liam Neeson) and Jack Hammond (Anson Munter) are federal air marshals who perform guard duties on a flight from New York to London.
After the plane took off, Bill received a text message from the mysterious man saying that "transfer $150 million to a secret account, or kill someone on the plane every twenty minutes."
Bill wants to make a plane landing, but Jack thinks it's just a prank and there's no need to make a fuss.
Jack's strange behavior caught Bill's attention, and the two got into an argument in the bathroom, jack tried to kill Bill, but was killed by Bill, which was exactly the first twenty minutes.
Later, the captain tells Bill that the account provided by the Mystery Man belongs to Bill, so the Ground Control Bureau asks the captain to keep Bill's gun and badge.
Bill had no choice but to get Jack's gun and badge, and while searching Jack's luggage, Bill discovered that Jack was actually smuggling cocaine.
Towards the end of the second twentieth minute, Bill checks all the passengers in the cabin, at which point Tom Bowen (Scott Knely) arouses Bill's suspicions, and he is then strapped and left in the corner of the plane.
At this time, the second twenty minutes arrived, this time the captain was poisoned and died in the cab.
Just when Bill is clueless, James Sams (Julianne Moore) tells Bill that Zach White (Nate Pike) can help him find the mysterious man by paying attention to the passengers' phones.
With Zach's help, Bill finds the mysterious man's cell phone in a lawyer passenger, but when Bill is about to begin interrogating the lawyer, the lawyer is poisoned to death like the captain, which is the third twenty minutes.
After the lawyer's death, Bill tries to find the information from the mysterious man's mobile phone, but Jen inadvertently triggers a bomb and sends a message to the Ground Control Bureau to report Bill.
After some searching, Bill finally found the bomb hidden in jack's smuggled cocaine.
But because bill's previous actions aroused the suspicion of the ground control bureau and the passengers, the passengers arrested Bill as a hijacker.
What will happen to Bill and the passengers.........
There are some interesting passages in the film, such as Bill checking the passengers in the cabin, Bill checks on an Arab, who is actually a doctor, and later when he goes to check on the lawyer, the lawyer asks Bill, "Does he have nothing in his bag?" "Is it like many people, the first reaction when you hear the terrorists? It has to be said that this prejudice is already rooted in the minds of most people.
After the death of the airport, when everyone began to panic, the scene was chaotic, and the crew could not control the passengers' emotions, Bill would pack tickets for the passengers, and the airline would offer "free international flights for one year". This cheapness quieted the passengers, and even in life-or-death situations, "cheap" worked better than any guarantee.
"Air Rescue" is not so much an action movie as it is a suspense film, the film gets rid of the traditional drama of letting the air police and the hijacker face to face, the whole time Bill and the hijacker are engaged in a psychological warfare, and even at the climax of the film, it is not clear who is the real hijacker. In the process of watching the movie, you will unconsciously bring yourself into it, guessing who is the real hijacker.
The hijacker hid among the passengers, and it was not unwise to make everyone panic with just a few text messages. But you'll be relieved when you realize that the director is Zomi Hilal, a connoisseur of horror thrillers, including "Shark Beach", which was a hit in last year's circle of friends.
So here's the problem.
Can you guess who the hijackers are?
