Synopsis[edit]

In the winter of 1971, Sokcho Airport passenger plane pilots Tae-in (Ha Jung-woo) and Gyu-sik (Sung Dong-il) take a flight to Gimpo. Following the guidance of flight attendant Ok-sun (Chae Soo-bin), the passengers on board are busy for a while, but not long after takeoff, an improvised bomb explodes, turning the plane into chaos.

"From now on, this plane is going north."

Yong-dae (Yeo Jin-goo), who is trying to hijack the entire plane, takes control of the cockpit and threatens to turn the plane to the north.

Due to the impact of the explosion, Gyu-sik loses his eyesight in one side and Tae-in finds himself in a desperate situation on the chaotic plane. They begin a desperate struggle to land the plane safely. Everyone risked their lives on this flight.
