Un ufficiale psichicamente alterato si imbarca su un aereo americano. Dopo qualche minuto di volo, egli ingiunge al pilota di far rotta verso l'Alaska, pena la distruzione del velivolo. Durante una sosta per il rifornimento quasi tutti i passeggeri vengono fatti scendere nascostamente a terra; quindi il volo riprende, questa volta fino a Mosca. I sovietici, tutt'altro che disposti a concedere asilo politico al dirottatore, lo uccidono.
