In 1960,
the cold war between the United States and the Iron Block countries
is raging. Spies, espionage, and secret operations abound -- even on
a Pan Am 707 Jet Aircraft. Captain Greg Bryce pulls his giant
aircraft up from a 6,000 foot fall toward the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean.
Saving
the day, he is briefed back at the La Guardia marina, and is poised
for another flight to Europe -- this time behind the Iron Curtain.
Flight Attendant Pamela Martin is on that flight, but knows a secret
that goes beyond the cold war, back to Nazi Germany and WWII.
Both Pam
and Greg are on that flight, as is the Dictator of an Iron Block
country who is in the middle of an assassination attempt. The day is
saved but not by just anyone -- the surprise ending has multiple
threads all tying into the same result.
