Ilsa Beck (Kristina Wayborn) is a secondary villainess in the 1985 TV thriller Hostage Flight.
Ilsa Beck is one of four captors that hijacks a trans allied flight 136 in New York that is bound for London. They begin murdering hostages and demanding the release of their leader from a British prison.
Ilsa is involved in the terrorism of the passengers. However, the passengers begin to fight back thanks to an armed policeman who is aboard. Ilsa is overpowered in the cockpit and knocked out. Later she, along with the other terrorists are subdued and placed on trial by the passengers. There is real doubt whether they will wait until they land to bring them to justice.
In the end, Ilsa is arrested by the authorities along with the other members of the terrorists.
However, a fandom on this site, pointed out that there were alternative endings. The international version had all the terrorists including Ilsa hung by the passengers in the back of the plane. In the US version that came out on the DVD, Ilsa gets shot when one of her fellow terrorist breaks free of his bindings and lunges forward toward his captors.
