Airborne

An almost-empty airliner leaves London bound for New York as a severe winter storm closes in. Weather worries and the passengers' calm routine set the stage for trouble to come. The sense of danger is palpable as the flight climbs into dark, unsettled skies.

One by one, passengers disappear from the cabin, leaving frightened survivors behind. The remaining travelers scramble for explanations as the mystery deepens. The atmosphere on board darkens as suspicion and fear take hold.

The aircraft unexpectedly twists away from its straight path to New York, signaling a loss of control. The crew and passengers realize something is terribly wrong as the autopilot appears to steer the plane. Tension climbs as the horizon shifts toward an unknown destination.

The pilots are found dead, leaving the plane to drift on autopilot. Two hijackers reveal themselves, having murdered the crew to seize control of the aircraft. The hijacking becomes a deadly, in-flight crisis with no immediate crew intervention.

The hijackers outline their motive: to steal the airliner and a priceless vase that houses a death god. They intend to sell both the aircraft and the artifact, keeping passengers as leverage. The supernatural element raises the stakes far beyond a typical hijack.

The vase's legend adds a chilling layer to the hijack as the ancient death god seeks a new host. The cargo's mystique heightens the danger for everyone aboard. The crew and passengers watch a grim tableau unfold around the sinister prize.

The passengers try to hinder the hijackers but cannot overpower them, ending up tied to seats as leverage. Fear and desperation saturate the cabin as the hijackers solidify their control. The aircraft becomes a trapped stage for a deadly confrontation.

Air traffic control loses radio contact and observes the plane veering off radar. Authorities swiftly interpret the situation as a terrorist hijack and scramble fighter jets to intercept. The crew and passengers realize outside forces are closing in, but the danger inside remains.

As fighter planes approach, the would-be hostages manage to free themselves and take advantage of the moment. A chaotic struggle erupts as some passengers fight back against the hijackers. The narrow window of opportunity gives them a fighting chance to end the threat.

The crash-in-progress situation is overtaken by a supernatural horror as the incorporeal death god begins possessing people. Passengers and even some crew members descend into violent chaos, killing themselves and others without reason. The aircraft becomes a haunted vessel as fear turns to supernatural danger.

The airliner slips into South American airspace, and the pursuing fighters abandon the chase as it seems the aircraft cannot be stopped. The sense of looming inevitability grows as outside help fades away. Inside, the death god's influence reaches a fever pitch.

A brave passenger disables the autopilot and struggles to steer the doomed craft toward the ocean to prevent the death god’s spread. The cabin holds its breath as the plane fights gravity and the supernatural force at work inside. A final, desperate bid to avert catastrophe unfolds.

A possessed passenger and a hijacker attempt to halt the crash, but their efforts fail at the last moment. The death god withdraws from its host just before impact, allowing a final scream to crackle over the radio. The aircraft slams into the sea in a devastating collapse.

Back in London, air traffic controllers are marched out of the control room by authorities, silenced after the catastrophe. In a chilling close, one controller's eyes flash blue, signaling the death god has found another vessel. The unresolved horror hints that the threat may linger beyond the crash.
