|---|
On a routine recon mission a U.S. jet is shot down by Serbian rebels. The pilot is executed, but the navigator escapes and goes on the run. Knowing what he's seen, the rebels try to kill the navigator before he's rescued. Not wanting to disrupt peace negotiations, NATO refuses to violate no-fly-zone restrictions to rescue the navigator. The navigator has to evade the rebels and make it to a safe zone. Jeopardizing his career, the navigator's commanding officer organizes a resue mission. The resue team arrives just in time to save the navigator.
