The Best Hijacking Thrillers You Can Watch On Netflix Right Now

Hijackings don't always have to be done by terrorists or criminals. Sometimes, you can be hijacked by a good old-fashioned monster like a zombie. And when it comes to zombies and hijackings, there's simply no beating the 2016 movie Train to Busan.

When a workaholic fund manager gets pressure from his ex-wife to bring their daughter home to Busan for her birthday, he must accompany her on a train ride that turns out to be the worst one of their lives. As the train leaves the station, it becomes clear that the world is being gripped by a zombie outbreak that causes the people of South Korea to change into violent monsters. Unfortunately for the packed train passengers, a single infected person makes their way on board, and the ratio of living to dead passengers shifts in a big hurry. 

The movie is visually stunning for such a claustrophobic setting. And in terms of a hijacking movie, it gets top marks as the passengers have to battle to keep control of the train against an overwhelming enemy. As for its credentials as a zombie movie, Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright gave it high praise, writing, "I'd ... be remiss not to mention Yeon Sang-ho's Train to Busan, my favorite zombie film of the 21st century and just a 24-carat audience movie to see with a large crowd." 

If subtitles aren't an issue for you, Train to Busan is one of the best zombie flicks ever made, and it puts most other hijacking films to shame.
