Hijack (Apple TV+, 2023) is the real-time thriller starring Idris Elba as a business negotiator who must use his skills when his plane is hijacked. One of the most tensely plotted thriller series in recent years.
Hijack (Apple TV+, 2023) stars Idris Elba as Sam Nelson, a business negotiator who attempts to talk down hijackers who have taken over a flight from Dubai to London. The series unfolds in real-time across seven episodes — one for each hour of the flight — creating sustained tension throughout.
Hijack is a lean, well-executed thriller that avoids the content concerns of many prestige dramas. Its focus on the mechanics of negotiation, the psychology of crisis, and the human responses to extreme danger makes for compelling television without excessive sexual content or graphic violence. Idris Elba's performance anchors the series.
Hijack contains some violence (including deaths and moments of genuine peril) and language, but is significantly cleaner than most Apple TV+ original dramas. For Christian adults looking for a thriller without heavy content concerns: Hijack is one of the more accessible options on the platform. Available on Apple TV+.
