A tense Cold War espionage thriller centered on a high-stakes heist to steal a Soviet superweapon, driven by geopolitical stakes and aerial action.

The Soviets have developed a revolutionary new jet fighter, called 'Firefox'. Worried that the jet will be used as a first-strike weapon—as there are rumours that it is undetectable by radar—the British send ex-Vietnam War pilot, Mitchell Gant on a covert mission into the Soviet Union to steal the Firefox.
