Set in the 1970s, the narrative explores a group of radical extremists who instigated fear through plane hijackings and hostage situations. Key figures include the striking Leila Khaled, known for her grenade ring jewelry, and the notorious Carlos the Jackal, whose flamboyant style matched his ruthless tactics. The Baader-Meinhof Gang also plays a significant role, as these groups aimed to liberate Palestinians and challenge Western imperialism with their dramatic and violent actions, captivating global audiences and putting governments under pressure.
