More about Hijack 1971
Hijack 1971 (also known as Hijacking) is the latest film from director Kim Sung Han.

He headlines as Yong Dae, a hijacker from Gangwon province. His backstory reveals that his brother was allegedly a member of the North Korean Army during the Korean War. This landed him in much discrimination and trouble growing up. Determined to reunite with his brother across the border, Yong Dae hijacks the plane, forcing it to fly toward the North.
This is the first time, the oh-so-talented Yeo Jin Goo transforms into a villainous character and his stellar performance helped attract a handsome amount of moviegoers.
Rookie Cops actress Chae Soo Bin joins the cast lineup as Ok Soon, a warm-hearted air hostess who attends to each passenger’s need in a friendly manner. When the hijacking takes place, she remains the sole flight attendant on the aircraft which pushes her to look after the passengers all by herself.
Reply 1988 actor Sung Dong Il transforms into a veteran pilot Gyu Sik. With years of experience in the aerial industry, he is familiar with tackling such extreme situations. Joining him is actor Ha Jung Woo as co-pilot Tae In. With his earnestness and the chief pilot’s guide, he focuses on rescuing the passengers from the hijacking situation.
