This film is a work of fiction based on historical events.

All characters, titles, organizations, and details

are dramatized for cinematic purposes.

Flight leader,

we have left the mission area.

We should head back, sir.

Having a tough time?

Not at all, it's a piece of cake.

Yeah? Immelmann turn!

Immelmann turn!

Descend!

Inverted flight!

How's this? Not bad, right?

It's unbearable, sir.

Look up, man.

Dong-cheol, how do you like

this scenery?

Cap.

It's breathtaking!

Simply breathtaking!

This is Bravo-Delta! Tango 1, respond!

Abort mission, abort mission!

Target coordinates,

Area 3-1, 10,000 ft!

This is not a drill!

Kosung Airspace, Gangwon Province

Hotel-Lima 5208!

North Korean border up

ahead, turn the aircraft around!

5208, respond, respond!

No response, I'll check the c*ck.

Captain seat is empty,

First Officer is in control.

Min-su?

First Officer ID confirmed.

Reservist Air Force Col. Seo Min-su!

Min-su, it's me!

You're heading for North

Korea, turn plane around!

Based on its flight course, the

co-pilot is attempting to defect!

Tango 1, fire warning shots!

Roger!

g*ns on!

Target in sight!

If you all want to die,

turn it around.

No shots! Something is off!

10 miles to the border.

Tango 1, requesting SITREP of 5208!

Still heading North! Someone

may be in the c*ck!

Tango 1! Fire at the right

engine and force it to land!

Negative!

It's a passenger aircraft.

Squad Leader here!

Twin engine aircraft can land

with just one engine! Fire!

30 seconds to the border!

If the fuel catches fire,

everyone will die!

You must fire it now for

it to land in our territory!

It's an order, fire at once!

Tae-in, come on! Just sh**t!

Crossing the border in 10 seconds!

What the hell are you doing?!

Fire, now!

Move aside, I'll sh**t!

5 seconds!

4, 3, 2!

Negative.

HIJACK 1971

Who do you think I

hung up on right now?

I'm not sure...

I said no interruption!

I'm sorry, sir!

The Presidential Office said

the call keeps getting dropped...

Keep them on the line for 2 minutes.

Pardon? Okay...

Because of you, 51 of our people

are taken to North Korea.

Was it that difficult to sh**t

an engine of a cruising aircraft?!

I couldn't risk what the

hijacker would do to the pilot...

There was no hijacking signal!

Min-su was acting strange.

You know him, he'd never

willingly defect to North Korea!

Look.

Does the President care

what kind of a man he is?!

1 minute left, come up

with a convincing excuse.

They're all still alive.

Once the government

initiates negotiation...

Negotiating with the commies?!

Go with the g*n malfunction story.

You disobedient b*stard!

Dong-cheol, you're suspended

from flying for a month.

Tae-in, submit your discharge papers.

Dismissed.

Tae-in.

How big is your extended family?

About 20, sir.

What's 20 times 51?

Just over 1,000, sir.

Remember,

all those people will suffer because

of your petty humanist decision.

The repatriation of YS-11 aircraft crew

and passengers has been decided.

It'll take place at DMZ tomorrow,

and they'll be greeted by families

Kim Yong-dae, released.

and journalists from both domestic

and international media.

The repatriates will be detained and

undergo thorough investigations,

before returning to their homes.

The current list of passengers

confirmed to be returning is as follows:

Captain Yoo Joon-seok...

The snow was shoveled already?

What's that?

Don't people even watch the news?

It's been ages since

Min-su's name was cleared.

[Communist! Spy!]

Wipe it off, will you?

[Communist! Spy!]

I'll go get some paint.

I'll take that.

Young-sook!

This way please.

The food smells incredible.

Yeah?

All done?

- Yup, it's all done.

- Great.

It looks like a new door.

Good work.

Joon-woo, you'll wrinkle that jacket.

Let him be.

Imagine his excitement

to have his dad back.

Even we are excited too.

You and I should go

to the hair salon tomorrow.

Do I look bad?

I never bothered to look in the mirror.

Young-sook,

I wish my wife's cooking

is half as good as yours.

Desperate to starve from tomorrow?

Whoa.

Have some while they're hot.

Joon-woo, want a bite?

- Nope.

- No?

- Aunty.

- Yeah?

- Glass noodle.

- Of course.

You eat so well.

I'll give you some more.

It's really great.

Yeah?

Thank you.

For what?

For taking care of us, I'll

pay you back in my lifetime.

Don't ever mention it,

it was the obvious thing.

Return of YS-11 passengers

North Korea Demilitarized Zone

Do not come in contact

with the repatriates!

They'll be allowed to go home

after the investigation,

so, do not approach them!

- Do you see him?

- Hold on.

Board the repatriates on the bus.

Stop their families

from getting in the way.

Why isn't my husband coming?

Is that everyone?

Sir, all 39 repatriates have boarded.

Start the bus.

Captain!

Where are the rest?

Attention please!

There are a total of

39 repatriators today!

The 7 remaining passengers,

2 flight crews, 2 pilots

are not on today's list,

so please return home!

Wait a minute!

Shouldn't you explain why

they aren't on the list?

Wrap it up!

Start the bus!

Sir, what'll happen to

those who aren't on the list?

Repatriation was rejected.

The commies didn't send them.

Remember,

all those people will suffer because

of your petty humanist decision.

39 KAL Passengers Repatriated

39 out of 50 abductees

have returned to freedom

while 11 remain detained

by North Korea.

The returnees testified that 11

individuals were isolated and taken away

due to their specialized skills.

Meanwhile, North Korea claims to have offered

$2 million to the hijacker Cho Chang-hee,

allegedly encouraging

t*rror1st acts against the South.

The government is implementing measures

such as deploying armed air marshal...

1 year later

Sokcho Airport

We're sold out!

Sold out! Sold out!

It's an airplane!

Touchdown.

Parking brake set.

Check.

Parking brake set.

Check.

Thank you, have a good day.

Thank you, see you again.

Good work.

North Korea Must Immediately Repatriate

Abducted South Korean Citizens

Min-su... I just hope he is safe

and sound in North Korea.

Have you done a solo landing?

Not yet, Captain.

It's been a year, other

captains didn't let you?

Are you saying you'll give me a shot?

Another time, you'll get your shot.

I'm off.

Sure.

Thank you, Captain.

- Thank you, sir.

- Take care.

Ok-soon, did you know?

The other pilots can't

stand that First Officer.

Why is that?

He was that fighter pilot who

disobeyed an order last year

and let that airplane

defect to North Korea.

I'm sure there was a reason.

What reason?

The way I look at it, he's an outcast.

I'm sure of it.

North Korea Must Immediately Repatriate

Abducted South Korean Citizens

Isn't coefficient B

there a multiple of 2?

An even formula.

You from Woochang Middle?

Yes.

Good to meet you, I also went there.

Good to meet you.

Hey, won't you fly with me?

It isn't fun flying alone.

You there.

Would you like some chocolate?

Sure.

Excuse me.

Sure thing.

Here.

- Thank you.

- Do you run well?

Yes.

Hiding out here?

Welcome, sir.

Yeah, give me one.

"Hope"?

Is it good?

I liked the design.

Why didn't you sh**t?

Heard Min-su was your superior.

Yes.

I wanted to know if you can be trusted

with the lives of our passengers.

I was a bit nervous.

Because Min-su was in the c*ck?

Because of the passengers.

I saw him shaking his head,

it looked like he didn't want

to endanger the passengers.

You're a failure as soldier.

But commercial pilots must do that.

Right...

Making a logical decision

in that situation?

It's about instinct, the

instinct to save people.

Had I shot the engine precisely,

would everyone be safe?

Who knows.

No one would bat an eye

if everyone returned home.

It's all about the results.

I'm so sorry, sir.

What were you doing?

I had to take a dump...

Are we leaving tomorrow?

One moment, make way!

Stop it!

One moment! One moment!

What are you doing?!

Pardon me!

Don't push!

Ow, that's hot!

Could you open this door?

Put out that cigarette!

Man, they'll run like dogs, right?

Ok-soon, when will they start

selling reserved seats?

Soon.

How fast can you run 100m?

In 11 seconds.

I said 100m, not 50m.

That's what I meant.

11 seconds? You're

not an Olympic runner.

Good afternoon, welc...

Here here!

Please don't run!

Good afternoon, welcome aboard.

Please go inside.

You really are an Olympic runner.

Good afternoon, welcome aboard.

Please walk slowly.

We're almost at the front.

I'll sit by the window.

Good afternoon, welcome aboard.

Ma'am? Ma'am!

Ma'am?

You can wear your shoes.

Your shoes.

Mother, your shoes.

Let's sit here.

Oopsie! Sorry about that,

my bag sat there first.

What the heck?

Move it at once.

You better watch your tone.

Have some respect for the elders.

Honey, we can sit here.

Make way! Make way!

Mr. Park!

Passing through!

Pardon me, Mr. Park, this way.

It's a full house today.

Over here, sir.

By the luggage?

You lost to the kid?

Allow me to put your

coat in the compartment.

Thank you.

Oh gosh, where are you

flicking your cigarette?

Sir.

You shouldn't flick

cigarette ashes on the floor,

please use this tray.

- Flap set.

- Flap set.

Check.

Just let her fly with it!

Don't you know this isn't allowed?

What was that?

Don't give me that attitude!

It's not allowed in here!

It's not like this little thing will

make the airplane too heavy.

Why can't she?!

Look here, mister,

don't you feel bad for her?

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Look, the pilot is here.

What's going on?

First Officer.

There is a chicken in the cabin.

A chicken?

I told her several

times it's not allowed...

According to aviation security laws...

Can't it be stored in the cargo bay?

There's no cage, it could

get crushed by baggage.

No animals allowed. Period. Understand?

My daughter is sick...

Please get up, I'll

look for a solution.

Mister pilot.

Just get rid of that damn chicken

and let's get this plane in the air!

She'll feed the chicken

to her sick daughter!

One moment, please.

I understand!

We can't take off if there's

commotion in the cabin.

Bus routes are down, do you

not want to go to Seoul?

- Of course I do.

- You do, right?

- You must go to Seoul.

- Of course, we do.

I beg for your cooperation.

Ma'am, keep it in your arms.

- But sir...

- One moment.

Marshal, I'll take the heat on

this, please get ready for take off.

Our plane will now take off.

Please fasten your seatbelt.

We're ready to take off,

please take your seat.

Please fasten your seatbelt, thank you.

Lift this part up first.

Hotel-Lima 5212,

1:07 P.M., January 23, 1971

Look, that house is the size of a bean!

I got to see such a marvel

thanks to my prosecutor son.

Look, look.

- She must be mute.

- All right.

Must be frustrating

not being able to talk.

Enough with the sign

language, it's embarrassing.

There.

Gosh!

Why are you keep sniffing? It's

obviously from the chicken sh*t.

Did the chicken poop?

Wait!

Here.

Wow...

Oh gosh, it laid an egg.

Here, try this.

- What?

- Go on.

But this is so precious...

Why are you traveling alone?

My mother died, and I'm gonna

live with my older brother.

Gosh, how did she leave

behind such a fine son?

When I got back from out of

town, she starved to death.

I cremated her with my own hands.

That's terrible, dear...

I'll engage autopilot.

Yup.

Hey wanna try an imported cigarette?

May I?

It's just a cigarette.

Thank you.

I want you to land today.

Can I?

I want to see how good you are,

and put my life in your hands.

We'll now start inflight service.

You're giving these to us?

We have black tea, coffee and snack.

Ma'am.

It will be much later

until you meet that daughter of yours.

Do you like eels?

I never eat eels.

Without a drink.

Eels and drinks go hand-in-hand.

Sure.

So, let's have a feast

when we land in Gimpo,

with a drink.

That'd be great, Captain.

b*mb!

- It's a b*mb!

- 3.

2,

Captain, pull back!

We're losing altitude!

800!

7!

We'll crash at this rate,

pull back harder!

Full throttle...

Captain, full throttle!

Full throttle!

Check the roll level.

Roll level.

Level is stable.

Tae-in, what blew up?

I'm not sure.

Check oil pressure.

Yes, sir.

It's good, sir.

Head for the ocean!

Follow my orders,

and no one dies.

Go to the ocean.

Okay, fine.

But I need to check

the cabin's status first.

Goddammit!

You deaf?! Get to the ocean!

A b*mb went off.

Status check, I have

to check the cabin first.

Run your mouth again

and I'll cut off ya tongue.

Status check first.

We can go wherever you want.

Tae-in, get back there

and check the fuselage.

I'll turn the plane around.

I have control!

Could you step on this?

- What? What did you say?

- I need our help.

Move out of the way, I'll do it.

What was that? What happened?

We're in a hijacking situation.

I was handing out black tea,

and suddenly passengers

up front started screaming...

Ok-soon, it's okay.

But where's the g*n?

Did you see it?

If you find it, keep it well hidden.

Ok-soon, I need your help.

You're now responsible for

the safety of the cabin, okay?

How could I do that by myself?

You were trained for this,

follow the manual.

Let's cover he hole first.

Go to the back and get me a net.

Marshal?

Marshal.

- Could you help me?

- Sure!

What in the world...

Easy.

Are we all go to die?

Is everything okay?

The situation is under control.

Please go back to your seat.

Okay.

Hold on to it, take that sides.

Okay.

Secure it tightly on that side.

Okay, it's secured.

Ok-soon, get the first aid kit.

Do we have a doctor or

a nurse on the plane?

A doctor or a nurse?

That's it.

Is this political or are

you after money?

I dunno about politics.

Just go straight.

To Oeongchi.

In Sokcho area?

Is that your hometown?

This will sting a bit.

I'll tighten it now.

Ow!

Please go easy on him.

I'll go check it out.

Just hang in there.

Ok-soon, tweezers please.

Mr. Park...

Hang in there.

My money, it's my money

my precious money...

Put pressure on this. You will be okay.

Thank you.

Ok-soon, go to the c*ck,

Captain needs help too.

Mr. Pilot.

Where are we heading?

We're going to Seoul, right?

Yes.

I'll make sure to get you

to your destination.

There's a hole in the plane,

it's like we're in a w*r!

How could we not worry!

What did ya say?!

Y'all see this?

Huh?!

If you don't wanna die,

put your head down.

Put this on.

Shut the hell up!

This plane is now headed for...

North Korea.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Hotel-Lima 5212.

Hotel-Lima, we are

in a hijacking situ...

Mayday, mayday, hijacking aboard.

Ahh...!

If ya radio without my permission...

this goes boom.

Stay on the shore and head North.

All right, heading to North Korea.

Altitude 3,000 ft, speed 240 knots.

Fastening the yoke.

Good! Just follow my order.

Ok-soon! Please come up.

Captain needs to be treated.

Ok-soon, hurry!

Go ahead.

Captain, is your eye okay?

It's okay, blind in one

eye won't get me k*lled.

Why are you so desperate

to go to North Korea?

Are we on a death march?

People live there too, ya know.

My brother was taken

there during the w*r,

but became an officer

and lives the high life.

So, you're doing this

to meet your brother?

This man became a national hero there

when he took an airplane

from Gangneung.

Heroic Defector Cho Chang-hee!

Come to the North!

Taking this airplane there

will fetch me $2 million.

Let's swap seats.

Why?

Get up.

Come on.

Hey!

You there!

When that guy comes back, let's

jump him and take him down.

Jump him?

Are...

If we're taken now, our

family will starve to death.

And what if you get k*lled?

Merchants like us are useless

there, they'll send us back!

Have you forgotten already?

I was a cop during the Korean w*r!

How the hell would they know that?

Sir, I'll join you.

You sure?

A fisherman in the next village

was taken to North Korea.

He managed to come back,

but cops harassed him endlessly

because he could be a spy.

Get up.

Ok-soon.

When we cross the border,

destroy all passengers' IDs.

ID?

We may not return.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Tie him up good.

He said to tie him up good.

Will you pull it harder? This is wrong.

You have to pull on your side, sir.

sh*t!

Go back.

Okay.

Turbulence up ahead,

hold onto the yoke.

Now!

What was that?

What do we do?

I can't get through

turbulence on my own.

Get him now!

No! Please!

Do you want to die?!

To the right!

There's a leeway.

Gil-ja, move! Move out of the way!

It's gonna blow!

You commie!

It's all over, you commie b*stard!

I can't breathe because

of your commie stench!

Get off!

Commie, commie!

First Officer!

Tae-in!

An as*h*le like you...

Wait, please!

Let go!

Stop it.

Did you come here to k*ll me?

Don't hurt the passengers,

I'm begging you.

Put your heads down!

Down!

Do ya all want to die?!

You too! Kneel!

I've had it!

Please, don't do this, son.

Did ya not hear what I said?!

We'll cross the border soon,

we just need to land.

Please stop.

Please! Stop! Stop!

Do you want to get to

North Korea as a k*ller?

Please stop, I'm begging you.

He deserves to be punished.

Mister pilot.

The North doesn't ask about our past.

Okay, I hear you.

Go.

He'll be fine.

Please, someone help, please help...

Let me through.

A man is injured.

Please help...

Ladies and gentlemen, this

is your Captain speaking.

Our flight is forced to

enter North Korea.

As per flight attendant's

order, please destroy your IDs.

We'll be entering North

Korean airspace soon.

Please destroy your IDs.

Are we really?

Ok-soon.

Could you untie me?

Please tear up your

IDs and hand them in.

Especially those who are soldiers,

police, civil servants, and engineers.

We're entering North Korea,

please tear up your IDs.

Especially those who are soldiers,

police, civil servants, and engineers.

We're crossing the border,

Prosecutor

please tear up your IDs.

Especially those who are soldiers,

police, civil servants, and engineers.

Why did you eat that?

What did you do that for?

I'm okay.

I'll protect you even in North Korea.

Hey, Yong-dae, are you home?

We're here for an inspection.

Yong-dae.

I heard you're in contact with

your brother in North Korea...

It ain't true!

Please stop mentioning that commie.

Of course!

Have you heard?

Armed communist guerrillas came

down to k*ll our president.

Why do you have these commie fliers?

What's that?

They ain't mine!

You commie b*stard!

You son of a...

Why are ya doing this to me?!

What did I do so wrong?!

- Just let me live my life!

- You b*stard!

Leave me the hell alone!

I'm not a commie!

Get up!

Yong-dae!

Yong-dae!

Ma!

Ma!

Ma!

Ma!

Ma, no!

Ma!

Please!

Ma!

Especially those who are soldiers,

police, civil servants, and engineers.

Untie me!

Will you let him take

us to North Korea?

Let's end this before

we cross the border.

Please tear up your IDs.

Excuse me.

I want to untie you,

but I'm so scared...

Hurry.

Your IDs, please.

Faster.

Hold on.

Hurry.

IDs please.

It won't budge.

You didn't find your ID?

Let me help you.

Hey!

Hold on, wait.

Did you put it in this pocket?

Over here?

g*dd*mn!

Stay right there.

What's going on?

We're running out of fuel.

Tae-in, land the airplane.

Yes, sir.

Trying to fool me again?

Take a look, see this fuel gauge?

We already crossed the border,

we're in North Korea.

Will you...

swear it on your life?

Absolutely.

Captain, initiating descent.

Descending.

Captain, what's the altitude?

I can't see...

Can you land on your own?

Sir, can you grab the

yoke upon touchdown,

and activate the brakes?

He'll k*ll us first when he realizes

that this isn't North Korea.

Seriously?

Hold on tight.

If ya let go, this goes boom.

Are you nuts? He's just a kid...

What?

Hey, kid.

Don't cry, don't cry.

I said, don't!

Ya know what older boys at

our village did to a little boy?

Wanting to root out commies,

they poured boiling water on him.

Don't believe me?

Do you see this?

See this?

Hold on tight.

What are you doing?! We're landing!

Raise the nose.

We're in North Korea.

I saw the Hwajinpo lake.

That emergency runway

looks North Korea to you?

Raise the nose.

If you don't, he be

dead instead of you.

I'm sorry! I don't want to die!

I don't want to die!

Please help me!

I'm begging you, please!

I don't want to die!

Nose up!

Please help me!

I'm begging you.

Please help! I don't want to die!

Nose up!

Please, sir, I don't want to die!

Please help me! He'll k*ll me!

Sir! Please!

Go-around!

Captain, throttle!

Full throttle!

Full throttle!

Tae-in!

Tae-in!

I'm all right...

Enough, you b*stard!

My eyes are messed up, if

something happens to him

we're all dead, sh*t head!

Dying? Living is scarier.

The next b*llet is to ya head!

I heard you loud and clear.

Let's send the kid back first.

We can talk this through.

Get up.

Kid.

Son, you're fine...

Hold on.

Mister pilot.

My ma said to me

while wiping off the burn pus,

that I should always take

the last place in life.

When I entered middle

school at the top of my class,

a teacher said I was bringing shame

to the school, because a commie

was the smartest student.

A loser, nobody in the South,

could be a hero in the North.

Mister pilot,

you and I can be heroes.

Why do you risk your

life for those nobodies.

We can live lavishly in North Korea.

All right, I'll do whatever you ask.

But let's drop off the passengers

first.

We'll do that on the emergency

landing strip, it'll take 5 minutes.

And whether we live

lavishly, or become heroes,

I'll do whatever you ask.

Ya take me for a fool?

Those who want to stay should stay.

These passengers have over

a thousand extended families.

If we just go they'll all

be labeled as commies,

and live in misery just like you.

You're risking your life

to meet your brother.

I'll risk mine too.

Please, let's drop them off.

What the hell?!

Air Force! It's our Air Force!

Our Air Force is here!

Tae-in.

Radio frequency, turn to

the emergency frequency.

The emergency frequency.

...turn back at once.

You are entering the no-fly zone.

This is the ROK Air Force!

Turn back to the South.

Tango 1, initiating

interference to the flight path.

I'll check the c*ck.

Hotel-Lima 5212!

This is the ROK Air Force!

You're flying into restricted airspace.

- Dong-cheol.

- Turn the nose around.

Turn the nose South!

Tae-in.

Tae-in, it's me, Dong-cheol.

What's going on?

Tango squadron, intercept path!

Tango 1, begin warning

flight, Tango 2, standby.

Roger, Tango 2, hold position.

Roger.

Initiating warning flight.

They'll open fire on us.

If they do, how did the last

plane reach North Korea?

Ok-soon!

Don't cry, Air Force is here.

How's this?

Feel better?

Target heading 020.

No response, they're continuing course.

Tango 1, fire warning

shots, fire warning shots!

Master arm on.

Tango 2, move aside!

Roger.

g*ns, g*ns, g*ns!

You see?

Cross the border now!

They'll sh**t our engine

and force us to land.

Congrats on your first landing.

Good work.

Good work.

You made it...

On January 23, 1971, Korean Airlines F-27

crash-landed on Chodo Beach in Kosung.

All 58 passengers and crew survived, the only 2 fatalities were

the 22-year-old hijacker and the co-pilot who threw himself at the b*mb.

Despite being injured, the lead pilot, Lee Kang-heun, successfully managed an emergency landing, a feat considered unprecedented in the history of commercial flights.

Meanwhile, the 11 passengers and crew of the YS-11, who were abducted in 1969 have not returned home.
