A pilot haunted by a near-miss is forced to overcome his nerves and take over the controls of a damaged plane when the navigator falls unconscious and the plane is hit by a storm during a transatlantic flight. Disaster thriller, starring Eric Roberts, Alexandra Paul, Mark Lutz and Anne Openshaw.

Having taken the blame for an accident beyond his control, pilot Mike Hogan has been on administrative leave indefinitely; however when the airline is desperately short of staff, he is offered to be first officer and accepts, without enthusiasm, received with disdain by the well-connected commander. Surprisingly his come-back proves less then routine, as the captain gets knocked out and a collision as well as a murderer being transported by police require courageous action from Mike, his crew and several passengers, including soccer star Ty Conner.
