Synopsis: A secret project turns out to not have been
so secret after all as an air disaster threatens to become an international incident in this action thriller. Peter Stanton is an aviation engineer who is asked by the
United States military to design a new super-sized stealth aircraft. Since Stanton's project is officially off the government's books
(though the Pentagon is indeed footing the bill), his sponsors create a cover story that the new craft is actually a civilian airline carrier being jointly
developed by NASA and three major airlines. In order to give the new jet a proper test and support their cover story, the plane, known as FALCON, will
carry a group of special passengers for its first flight, a hop from New York to Paris that will take less than two hours. However, Stanton finds out the hard
way that not everyone on his team is honest and idealistic when a team of Serbian terrorists take over the plane, intending to land it on the arctic ice cap.
The Serbs miscalculate, and soon Stanton has two major problems on his hand: bringing the FALCON up out of the ocean, and saving the passengers
from the terrorists before the Serbs can make use of the jet's sophisticated weapons systems.
