FBI hostage negotiator Jack Bender (Dean Cain) finds himself on a plane overtaken by terrorists (led by Anthony Michael Hall) demanding a billion-dollar ransom in order to prevent them from detonating a nuclear bomb over Los Angeles. Jack must use his skills to talk the terrorists down to avoid the only other option: blowing up the aircraft in the sky. Lea Thompson, William Forsythe and Ernie Hudson co-star in this high-octane thriller.
