The story of Gaganam is all about a flight from Chennai to New Delhi. Terrorists hijack the flight mid air and threaten to blast it if their demand of releasing a dreaded terrorist is not met with. The crux of the story is about how Viswanath, National Home Secretary negotiates with terrorists and how Ravindra (Nagarjuna), National Security Commando leader completes the operation of saving the passengers on the flight.
