Turbulence (1997)

On a chilling Christmas Eve, TransCon Airlines Flight 7 embarks on a suspenseful journey like none other. Among its passengers lurks the notorious Ryan Weaver, a cold-hearted serial killer infamously dubbed as the 'Lonely Hearts Strangler'. Having left a grim legacy of five brutal murders in Los Angeles and a haunting mystery of his aunt's disappearance when he was 16, Weaver's name is synonymous with terror. After eluding justice for two relentless years, he is finally apprehended in New York by the dogged Los Angeles cop, Aldo Hines, and is set for extradition. However, the flight takes a deadly turn over Akron, Ohio, when Weaver's fellow convict, Stubbs, murders all four accompanying U.S. Marshals. Seizing the opportunity, Weaver ruthlessly dispatches Stubbs and takes control of the aircraft after the pilot and co-pilot meet a tragic end, leaving the jumbo jet precariously in the hands of the autopilot. The remaining passengers, a small group of bewildered civilians, are corralled into the plane's "pantry" and remain unseen until the movie's climax. The only obstacle standing in Weaver's way is brave flight attendant Teri Halloran. As the last remaining crew member, she rushes to the cockpit and attempts to establish contact with Tower Airlines pilot Samuel Bowen via the nearest control tower. The plot spirals into an intense cat-and-mouse game between Weaver and Halloran, both battling for control of the hijacked 747. Amid the turbulent skies and the grim aura of the flight, the struggle for survival unfolds, making the journey a Christmas Eve those onboard will never forget. Intrigue, suspense, and death lurk in every corner of TransCon Airlines Flight 7, turning this transcontinental flight into a high-stakes airborne nightmare.
