Five miles above the earth, an elite team of six men must make an air-to-air transfer in order to save 400 lives on board a 747... and 40 million below. Kurt Russell is Dr. David Grant, an American intelligence analyst who must lead a select group of military operatives onto a hijacked plane in mid-air. Terrorists have taken over the aircraft and are headed toward Washington, D.C. to unleash its lethal cargo of nerve toxin over the eastern United States. If Grant and his team can't stop the terrorists before they land, the President may have to blow the plane out of the sky while everyone is still on board.
