John Berrie

Against his superiors' wishes, Air Force pilot Frank Cross (Dolph Lundgren) executes a daring food drop over a band of refugees. His willful actions leave him grounded, with a new assignment: to guard the president's "black bag" which holds a computer enabling the commander in chief (Roy Scheider) to initiate a nuclear attack. Terrorists nab the attache case during an ambush, a hostage crisis ensues, and only Cross can foil the doomsday plot.
