Dwight Hendeson: The two agents you killed on the plane were friends of mine.
Charles Rane: Thank you. I do enjoy knowing the people whose lives I've touched.
A crackerjack airplane security agent just happens to be sharing a plane ride with a captured airline terrorist. When the terrorist escapes and attempts a mid-flight takeover only John Cutter can stop him. Cutter finds more ways to hide and attack on the airliner than the terrorists or his band of henchmen ever imagined.
