Idris Elba steps up to save 200 passengers after terrorists take control of a flight bound for London in the first trailer for the limited series “Hijack,” which Apple TV+ released on Thursday.
Elba, who also produces via the deal between his Green Door Pictures and Apple TV+, plays Sam Nelson, a businessman who’s skilled at high-pressure negotiations and becomes the logical choice to try to talk the hijackers down. “Let me make you an offer,” he says in the trailerk which you can watch above.
Meanwhile, however, he’s secretly coordinating a counter attack with his fellow passengers. “It’s either us or them and I can tell you it’s not gonna be us,” the “Luther” star tells another hostage.
