Default Taken: The Untold Story of Flight 370

So this is the working title so far, and a rough sketch of the plot:

================

Taken: The Untold Story of Flight 370

In a world on the edge of World War 3, turned upside down by the war on
terror, geo-political collapse and global economic instability, two
agents of China's Kong Jin (air police) are in a race against time as
they try to find out who has taken control of their plane - and what
they intend to do with 225 passengers, crew, and even the plane itself.

60 year old retired Senior Colonel ROCAF (People's liberation Army
Airforce) Zhang Yong (Jackie Chan) is on his last flight as a Chinese
Air Marshall, about to certify is protege 25 year old Wang Xiu Lan
(Zhang Yuqi) as a fully qualified Kong Jin.

But what they think will be an uneventful red-eye from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing will turn into a nightmare from which they may not return.

=================

There's a couple of different plot angles here, but the main story is
that the Pilot and CoPilot are smuggling 500 lbs of cocaine into China
but begin to suspect they are plotting to double-cross each other and
walk away with the $25 million payoff.

So they each hatch a different plan to "neutralize" the other, with both
of them not knowing there was a third player in the mix.
