Short description
Following a series of bomb attacks in London, a group of terrorists seize Britain's ambassador to Scandinavia. With the ambassador now a hostage in his residence, another group hijacks an airliner at the capital's airport, announcing that the passengers will not be freed until their demands are met. Colonel Nils Tahlvik, Scandinavia's resourceful and ruthless head of security, seeks to take an uncompromising stance against the terrorists yet his attempts meet resistance from unknown forces at every turn...
What's left behind the scenes
- Principal photography for the film took place in Oslo, Norway.
- The Norwegian Pilots' Association was initially opposed to using Oslo Airport for filming.
- Hans-Otto Meyer, a prominent Norwegian financier and shipowner, provided the aircraft for filming. Sean Connery (1930-2020) and Ian McShane received an invitation to his villa, where they were shown (as it later turned out) a secret weapons depot of the Norwegian army in case of the country's occupation. Several years later, Meyer was arrested, and the existence of such depots and plans, previously known only to a few high-ranking government officials, became public knowledge.
