While rescuing an American air crew kidnapped by terrorists, Lieutenant Curran (Biehn) and his team of Navy SEALs discover evidence that the terrorists have come into possession of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.

The final scenes, in Beirut, Lebanon, revolve around an ultimately successful mission to destroy the weapons before they can be used against any possible targets.
