This action thriller revolves around Vikram Madan (Shiney Ahuja), a ground maintenance officer at the Chandigarh airport.

Due to unsocial working hours, he has only one close friend, Rajeev, chief of security at the same airport.

As luck would have it, the flight in which Vikram's daughter is travelling to Amritsar from Delhi, is hijacked.

A group of six terrorists takes control of the aircraft in mid-air, to secure release of Maqsood (KK Raina) who had been captured by the Indian police.

The terrorists threaten to kill the passengers if their demands are not met.

Abdullah, who remains a mystery till the end of the film has masterminded the whole hijack operation.

Under pressure to save his own daughter and other passengers, Vikram has no alternative but to sneak into the aircraft.

He manages to do just that with the help of on-board air hostess, Saira (Esha Deol).

As tension rises, Vikram takes matters in his own hands by killing the terrorists one by one but in the process some passengers come in the line of fire.

Will Vikram and Saira manage to save the rest of the passengers in time? Or do they face the wrath of the terrorists?

Filled with fast paced action sequences, Hijack is one of the first thrillers of its kind to emerge from India defying all Bollywood norms.
