1990. The Gulf War. Three Iraqi MIGs, while on a routine reconnaissance mission, suddenly attack Air Force Captains Lee Banning and John “Doc” Holiday. In the ensuing dogfight, Doc’s plane takes a hit and plummets to the ground in a blazing inferno. Seven years later, Doc escapes from an Iraqi prison and vows vengeance on the man he believes responsible for his torture: his old friend Banning.
