Plot Summary
Commercial pilot Brodie Torrance, a former RAF pilot from Scotland, flies Trailblazer Airlines Flight 119 from Singapore to Honolulu via Tokyo using a MD-80 aircraft. Among the 14 passengers is fugitive homicide suspect Louis Gaspare, who is being extradited to Canada under custody of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer. Following a directive from one of his superiors, Brodie does not alter his route over the South China Sea despite severe weather, resulting in a lightning strike destroying the plane’s avionics and killing a flight attendant and the RCMP officer during turbulence.Â
Brodie and co-pilot Samuel Dele manage an emergency landing on a remote airstrip on Jolo island in the southern Philippines. In New York, Trailblazer Airlines activates its crisis response team led by David Scarsdale. With local authorities requiring 24 hours to mount a response, Scarsdale dispatches a private mercenary team to enter the rebel-controlled island. Meanwhile, Brodie ventures into the jungle with Louis, a former French Foreign Legionnaire, in search of help. At an abandoned warehouse, Brodie manages to contact the airline and his daughter to reveal their location before being attacked by a rebel, whom he kills. Louis kills other rebels in the building, and the two discover that the rebels take foreigners hostage for ransom.Â
They rush back to the plane, but rebel leader Datu Junmar and his forces arrive first and capture the remaining passengers and crew, killing a couple who attempt to escape. After the rebels leave, Brodie and Louis ambush two rebels looting the plane’s luggage, forcing them to reveal the location of their base before killing them. Brodie leaves a note behind to inform potential rescue teams of the situation. Infiltrating the rebel base, Brodie and Louis kill several guards and successfully escort the passengers and crew onto a bus. However, trapped by more rebels, Brodie decides to stay behind to create a diversion.
