Genesys 1, a fully automated Corbett Aviation test aircraft, is prepared to make its maiden voyage. Six months earlier, a similar test flight turned into tragedy when the aircraft controls became locked. Corbett Airline engineer Gabriel Wingfield (John Pyper-Ferguson) was blamed for the disaster and fired by company president Ty Corbett (Winston Rekert).
When he finds that Corbett is aboard the first flight, Wingfield hacks into the flight's computer system. The test flight deviates from its determined route and begins flying a circular pattern over Seattle. Wingfield demands a ransom or the aircraft will crash.
Former Navy pilot Peter "Bird Dog" Dewmont (Craig Sheffer) must race against the clock to find the disgruntled former employee and regain control of the aircraft before it crashes into Seattle.
Cabin Pressure (released in home video as Hijack'd) was reviewed in The Movie Scene, "... 'Cabin Pressure' isn't so much a movie but a collection of movie cliches surrounding a troubled plane, in this case a completely computer operated plane. As such we have a former pilot with a drinking problem, a disgruntled former employee looking for revenge, of course a troubled plane but on top of that so much cheese that "Cabin Pressure" is one of those movies which becomes entertaining for what is bad."[1]
