English Summary:

Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis leads an unsuccessful Special Forces raid on a Chechen mafia safe house in Italy to recover a stolen Soviet nerve agent, DZ-5, during the raid one of his commandos is killed, and the nerve agent is found to be missing, leaving the mission a bust.

Three months later, Oceanic Airlines Flight 343, a Boeing 747-200, leaves Athens, Greece, bound for Washington, D.C., with over 400 passengers on board, including U.S. Senator Mavros, and Nagi Hassan, lieutenant of the imprisoned terrorist leader El Sayed Jaffa. Hassan and his men hijack the flight, demanding Jaffa's release.

Dr. David Grant, a U.S. Army intelligence consultant, attends a black-tie ball but is interrupted and summoned to a meeting at the Pentagon to plan an operation to retake the plane. Grant doubts Hassan's demands, thinking he engineered Jaffa's capture and planned a suicide mission to use the plane to detonate a bomb loaded with the DZ-5 in U.S. airspace.

In response to this threat the Pentagon authorizes a mid-air insertion of an army special operations team onto the hijacked airliner using the experimental airplane "Remora F117x". Grant and DARPA engineer Dennis Cahill join Travis's team to intercept the plane.

The Remora docks with the 747 in mid-air, however, the boarding is only partially successful due to turbulence which causes Sergeant Campbell "Cappy" Matheny to be seriously injured in the tunnel suffering a fractured skull. As a result Grant decides to board the plane to assist. The 747 pulls up to escape the turbulence, overstressing the Remora's boarding device. Lt-Col Travis sacrifices himself by closing the 747's hatch before it decompresses, causing him to fall to his death, while the stealth aircraft is torn off and crashes following the ejection of it's pilot.
