Plot
Colonel John Sykes orders his men to massacre a village where they were sent to rescue hostages, but decides to get payback when they find them dead. When Sykes returns to the U.S. to be court-martialed he is forced to make a plea agreement where he receives all the blame in order that his men will be honorably discharged and receive all of the benefits they are entitled to. However, General Harlan Prescott, who is presiding over the trial, chooses to not agree to the terms and throws the book at Sykes. Sykes and his men are dishonorably discharged. While Sykes is being transported, he's rescued by his men. Sometime later, Prescott has been appointed to an important government position and he boards a plane to go on his latest assignment. Sykes and his men are also on the plane and take control over the plane. When the tower learns of the deviation, a government man arrives and upon learning of Sykes' presence on the plane sends a team to board the plane while in flight. After the team is massacred by Sykes and his men, the sole survivor has to stop Sykes and his only help is the flight attendant.
