Taglines: Behind Enemy Lines No Man Can Stop Her. Only One Woman Can Touch Her.
‘Air Force Two’, the aeroplane carrying the Vice-President of the United States and his staff, is flying over the South Pacific, when it’s damaged by an electrical storm. It’s forced to ditch in the ocean off the coast of the (fictional) country of San Pietro, near Solomon Islands.
As the few survivors make it onto a beach of a small off-shore island, one is immediately shot dead by a sniper from a guerrilla camp. The remaining survivors, including the Vice-President, who is a former US Marine, manage to escape and hide. It emerges that the sniper belongs to a group of armed rebel forces intent on overthrowing the island’s dictatorial government. The rebels are led by Armstrong, a ruthless American mercenary.
The V-P is eventually caught by the rebels, who plan to hold him for ransom. It falls to his two aides, Secret Service agent Lynn Delaney (Hemingway) and press secretary Sharon Serrano to infiltrate the rebel camp and save him. They are also captured, but Delaney is able to escape and sets out to rescue the others.
As US helicopters search for them, Delaney’s military and combat skills enable her to rescue them and kill Armstrong. In return for the V-P’s rescue and the cooperation of some of the rebel forces, the US offers aid to San Pietro on condition that they agree to hold democratic elections.
