US Naval flight officer, Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) and his companion Jeremy Stackhouse make a great team behind their fighter jet. However, after 7 years in the navy, Chris is disillusioned with his role and he hands over his resignation to his commanding officer Admiral Reigart (Gene Hackman). Left with just two weeks on the aircraft carrier in Bosnia, Chris takes a test run with Jeremy during which time they come across some suspicious activity in a demilitarized zone and they decide to veer off their planned course and collect photographic evidence. En route, their plane is shot down by a couple of missiles. Chris takes off to radio in their position and Jeremy is captured and executed by the Serbs'. So begins Chris's ordeal as he tries to escape from his ruthless Bosnian-Serb pursuers and survive.
On the icy mountain slopes in war-torn Bosnia - dodging landmines, snipers and hoping to get across evidence of a possible genocide of the Bosnian population, this action packed war film is a nail-biter all the way through.
Word for the day :-
egregious - outstandingly bad; shocking
