An airplane filled with V.I.P.s invited to the grand opening of Philip Stevens' art collection in Florida is hijacked when a trio knock out the passengers with gas and try to steal the priceless cargo of art treasures. But everything goes wrong for the hijackers when the low-flying 747 clips an oil rig and crashes in the Bermuda Triangle. While the passengers remain alive in the shallow water, a daring rescue operation is planned to bring the plane up without breaking it in two.
