Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
When terrorists Abdul Rafai and Mustafa hijack a Boeing 707 in Athens with 144 passengers and 8 crew members, they use a grenade to force pilot Captain Roger Campbell to fly to Beirut, Lebanon instead of Rome and New York. Meanwhile the Delta Force commanded by Colonel Nick Alexander and Major Scott McCoy are assigned to resolve the situation. Abdul and Mustafa separate the Jewish and Marine passengers and they are transported to Beirut, while 12 other terrorists come aboard. Then they fly to Algiers and release the women and children. McCoy and the Delta Force team are prepared to attack the plane when Alexander learns that there are now 14 terrorists aboard, and he aborts the mission. Abdul kills a Marine and returns to Beirut with the male passengers on board. Now the Delta Force needs to act in two locations crowded of terrorists to release the hostages. Will they succeed?
