101 Flight

101 Flight (Uzbek: 101 Reys) is an Uzbek biographical dramatic film directed by Akrom Shakhnazarov and producer Ravshan Norbaev about flight HY101^[2] and captain Zarif Saidazimov, based on his autobiography about the last flight before retirement.

In the early morning of September 11, 2001, a Boeing 757 aircraft belonging to Uzbekistan Airways took off from the Uzbek capital Tashkent. This is the final flight of the experienced pilot Zarif Saidazimov,^[3][4] before his retirement. 101-Flight^[5][6] is in transit through London Birmingham International Airport to John F Kennedy International Airport in New York.^[7][8][9]

Approaching John F Kennedy International Airport, Captain Saidazimov suddenly receives a command from the dispatcher to divert to land at Logan International Airport. The captain announces this to the passengers and heads for Boston. There was not much left to Boston, when and from there their dispatcher informs that the plane needs to land at Gander International Airport in Canada. Captain Saidazimov is left with no choice but to follow instructions. Warning the crew about the changes, he asks them to keep the passengers calm.

When this news reaches the passengers, confusion and panic envelop the cabin of the plane. After all, they could only see this in Hollywood movies. All passengers and crew members find themselves in a suspended and uncertain situation.
