On 13 October 1977, Lufthansa Flight 181, a Boeing Boeing 737 named ''Landshut'', is on its way from the vacation island of Mallorca to Frankfurt when it is hijacked by a team of four terrorists representing the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. They demand the release of several leaders of the Red Army Faction imprisoned in Germany. German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt refuses to negotiate with terrorists, aware that he is endangering not only the lives aboard the ''Landshut'', but also that of German business leader Hanns Martin Schleyer, who is being held hostage by the RAF.
