Crow is a pilot, who honed his skills flying helicopter gunships in Vietnam. Now he's ferrying relief supplies to refugee camps along Pakistan's northwest frontier - until he's asked to airlift a critically ill Mujehadeen field commander to hospital in Tashawar. But there is one small problem - the pick-up point is across the border in Afghanistan, and there's a war going on. In the company of a beautiful French medic and a bloodthirsty Pathan Guerrilla, Crow decides to run the gauntlet.
