The trailer for the Netflix series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack is now out. The show is based on the 1999 hijacking of an Indian aircraft by Pakistani militants. The nearly three-minute video opens with a tense scene in the cockpit, where Vijay Varma, playing the pilot, is terrified as a terrorist points a gun at him. The militants are then shown torturing the passengers.
We learn that there are a total of 176 passengers on board, but the hijackers have made no demands. While many blame Vijay for taking off from Amritsar airport, his wife, played by Pooja Gor, has unwavering faith in him. The trailer also shows Indian and Pakistani diplomats in conversation, trying to resolve the crisis. The video ends with Vijay attempting to land the plane, communicating with Lahore ATC, and stating that the aircraft has run out of fuel.
The makers dropped the trailer on YouTube with the caption, “Uncovering the true, gripping story of IC 814: India’s longest hijacking 188 lives, 7 harrowing days of courage, tough decisions, and survival.”
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack will be released on Netflix on August 29. The limited series also features Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Arvind Swami, Dia Mirza, Patralekhaa, Amrita Puri and Kumud Mishra.
