Film
Rane, known as 'The Rane of Terror', is an infamous terrorist who gets caught by FBI agents after attempting to have plastic surgery performed on him. He is put on board a passenger plane to await trial, but he manages to get free and take control of the aircraft with the help of his fellow terrorists (who are already on board). However, he is thwarted in his attempts to use the passengers as hostages by former police officer John Cutter, the passenger sat in seat 57.

At one point, Rane releases half the passengers on the plane in exchange for fuel, but while they are leaving Rane takes the opportunity to escape unnoticed. However, Cutter suspects this and chases Rane to a fairground, eventually tackling the terrorist to the ground and leaving him to be arrested for the second time. Rane informs Cutter that if he is not released, the other terrorists still on the plane will kill the rest of the hostages. Cutter and his people arrange for Rane to be allowed back on the plane but to have a sniper shoot him just as he's boarding. Unfortunately, one of Rane's men kills the sniper and takes his place, allowing Rane to get back on the plane unharmed. Cutter catches up to it and just manages to get inside before it takes flight.

Inside the plane, Cutter quickly beats the last few terrorists before fighting Rane himself. One of the windows gets shattered which causes depressurisation in the cabin, destroying the door in the process. After an intense battle, Cutter manages to kick Rane out of the open doorway where he plunges to his death.
