Sean Connery stars in Caspar Wrede's hostage melodrama, featuring lustrous cinematography by Sven Nykvist. A group of terrorists hijack an airplane and hold the passengers at bay until political prisoners are released. Sent in to stop them is Scandinavian government agent Nils Tahlvik (Sean Connery). The ensuing battle-of-wills gives the terrorists the edge. But when they try to make it out of the country, Nils is after them in hot pursuit. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Sean Connery delivers in this smart action flick from the early 70's. A deliberate pace in the movie may turn off some viewers, but the cat-and-mouse game between Connery and the terrorists more than makes up for the slower action pace. Good movie!

This film makes you think since it was filmed back before terroists really started becoming a everyday event. You can understand why so many people today still look down on the terrorist and what they do. Very good film and excellent acting . Worth seeing.

Surprisingly bland and unexciting, even Sean Connery can't breathe enough life into it. It has some great cinematography though, the story just lacks interest.
