NORJAK
Synopsis/Details:
It's 1971. Kelly, a newly retired legionnaire travels to the USA on a whim.
Though in receipt of a small French military pension, he has no other means of income and his visitors visa is soon to expire.
Falling in love with a woman from Seattle, adds to his woes.
So, he has an idea - he'll undertake, what is to him, a simple money making crime. He'll skyjack an airliner and demand a ransom fee. It can't be that hard.
Fifty years later, his crime — given the operational name, NORJAK, by the FBI — remains the only unsolved skyjacking in the USA.
