The film is inspired by one of the first hijackings in Vietnam, which occurred in 1978. The story revolves around a group of hijackers led by Long (played by Thai Hoa), along with his accomplices Ti (Vo Dien Gia Huy), Suu (Bao Dinh), and Dan (Ray Nguyen). They hijack a civilian aircraft, taking passengers and crew hostage in an attempt to escape the country. A flight crew of almost 10, including two flight attendants (played by Kaity Nguyen and Tram Anh), must confront the criminals and ensure the safety of the passengers throughout the flight.

A representative of the film crew said the novel subject matter presented a significant challenge. Their goal was to transport viewers back to the post-1975 period, a time when security measures were rudimentary and air travel carried inherent risks.
