Denise Richards plays an FBI hostage negotiator who is being banished to a desk job. On her flight she is upgraded after an altercation with an obese passenger and ends up sitting next to a charming Brit in first class. When the Brit sees Dolph Lundgren on the plane he offers Richards $50 million dollars to get him off the plane safely. Pretty soon the bad guys take over the plane.
Altitude AKA Hijack is a bad action film with a terrible script and mostly shot in the dark so you can hardly see a thing. It is low budget and low wattage action. An awful dog of a film.

Once I watched the first 2 minutes of the movie and it was nothing but about 12 different production companies, I knew I was in for a terrible movie. I'm guess they all kicked in $10,000 each. As others have stated, there are huge issues with physics of the aircraft, and the acting is a notch below B movie. The script was highly predictable and fairly boring. Don't waste your time.
How is it possible that over 300(!) people give this crappy film a 10 star rating? Jesus H. Christ! There must be a devoted fanbase for Lundgren out there, or the filmmakers forced the entire production crew plus family to give the film a good rating. Anyways, time will sort this out. I give this film a four, and I hope when I return next year the overall rating will be a 4. Jeez.
I think the review title says enough. Sub par plot, clueless cast topped off with a boring ending make movies like Snakes on a plane look like a piece of art. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from this piece of crap. I am only typing this extra line in order to submit my review
There is some kind of manipulation of the ratings system going on with this movie. We only watch movies with a 7 or above rating, which as of 4/5/2017, this had a 7.1 with 375 rating. Don't WASTE YOUR TIME. Terrible acting, terrible editing, terrible filming. IMDb out to be ashamed to have let their ratings system be manipulated this badly. Complete waste of $4.99
