The Terrorists

A 1975 film starring Sean Connery and an unbelievably young-looking Ian McShane. Terrorists have abducted the British ambassador and the Brits want him back. They terrorists hi-jack a plane to get their co-horts to safety with the ambassador. Connery is the head of security for... Norway... I didn't follow which country we were supposed to be in... He tries to get the terrorists without killing anyone. About an hour before Sean Connery I figured out that the Brits had staged the hi-jacking to get the ambassador back. It's a muddled plot that's pretty low on thrills and any kind of action. Connery is good and McShane is fun. Seems like the type of movie that would get a remake by like a Tony Scott and become an unwatchable mess. Instead it's just a pedestrian, 70's thriller.
