Gibson stars as Gene Ryack, a seen-it-all pilot and gun runner who shows the newly recruited Billy Covington (Downey) around. The aircrafts carry shipments of supplies, medicine, arms, and even army platoon to the village's secretive dangerous mission. Covington is outraged when he finds that a general is using their planes to smuggle unprocessed heroin from the countryside to his lab. The corrupt officials need a scapegoat for this illicit trade and he is chosen as the victim. Based on the book by Christopher Robbins.
