A Cold War action thriller built on aerial combat spectacle and geopolitical tension, with a subplot of unlikely military cooperation undermined by Pentagon sabotage.

Chappy Sinclair is called to gather together a mixed Soviet/U.S. strike force that will perform a surgical strike on a massively defended nuclear missile site in the Middle East. Chappy finds that getting the Soviet and U.S. Pilots to cooperate is only the most minor of his problems as he discovers someone in the Pentagon is actively sabotaging his mission.
