Senator Stuart Davis, running against the Vice-President, plans a trip to the Balkans to negotiate the release of American servicemen being held hostage by terrorists.

Their leader, Barry Rogers takes all the passengers hostage including Stuart, and forces him to hand over the disk in order to prevent the war being averted.

In the cockpit, Barry poses as a Balkan terrorist and informs Dulles ATC control that they are armed with a nuclear device and threaten to crash the Concorde into Paris.
