During the last days of the Vietnam War, USAF Lieutenant Colonel Iceal E. "Gene" Hambleton call sign BAT-21 Bravo, is
flying on board a EB-66C electronic warfare aircraft, engaged in electronic countermeasures preparatory to a major
bombing strike. Without warning, a number of SA-2 Guideline surface to air missiles are launched from South Vietnam,
targeting their aircraft. A massive SAM explosion tears off the tail and Hambleton, in the navigator's position, ejects
as the sole survivor of the six-man crew. While still coming down by parachute, Hambleton makes radio contact with Captain
Bartholomew "Birddog" Clark, the pilot of a Cessna O-2 Skymaster, flying a Forward Air Control mission near where the
EB-66 was destroyed. Birddog becomes Hambleton's link to rescue. Hambleton, an expert on electronic weapons systems and
who holds valuable information, is known to the North Vietnamese, who begin an all-out search, attempting to capture him.
An effort to steal supplies from Vietnamese villagers is not successful, as Hambleton is discovered and kills an aggressive
peasant farmer, apologizing to his grieving family as he escapes.
Knowing that his current location is too dangerous for rescue aircraft, Hambleton devises a plan to reach safer territory.
He plots a course to the river which is the boundary of the target area, then communicates his intended path to Clark in a
code composed of various golf courses he knows well. This will allow the rescuers to keep track of his progress, making
it easier for them to pick him up. Several attempts are made to recover Hambleton. Two helicopters are lost and members of
its crews are killed or captured. Clark ultimately flies a "Huey" helicopter rescue mission, but as he retrieves Hambleton,
the pair are shot down by ground fire, with Clark being wounded. A F-100 bombing raid both assists and hinders their progress
through the jungle, as North Vietnamese irregulars are trailing them. In the end, Hambleton and Clark are rescued by a US
river boat patrolling nearby on the Cam Lo River.
