Neerja, the film is based on the life of 23-year-old Neerja Bhanot, who was a flight attendant on the ill-fated Pan Am Flight 73, which was hijacked by four heavily armed terrorists after it landed at Karachi at 5 am from Mumbai on September 5, 1986.
After 17 hours of being trapped, the hijackers opened fire and set off explosives. Neerja opened the emergency door and helped a number of passengers escape.
She chose to evacuate passengers first, instead of saving herself from the terrorists. She was shot while shielding three children from a hail of bullets.
