Its plot borrows heavily from the film Die Hard, with Smith taking the lead role.

[1][2] Carrie Wink is a helicopter pilot employed by Heliscort, a company that offers heli-taxi transport to high level clients.

[3] Fairfax, a South African criminal mastermind, is intent on collecting four interlocking electronic devices or circuits that can "shift the balance of power in the world."

Swinging around to avoid the goon's bullets, Carrie crashes through a window just as he destroys the winch with machine-gun fire, causing the cable to break free.

Carrie witnesses a hostage killed in cold blood, after he attempts to exchange his own freedom for the $100,000 he has stolen from the building's computer accounts.

A guard takes her into a room and attempts to rape Carrie, who stabs him in the leg with a letter opener and shoots him dead.

Fairfax finds the device, kills Jacques and heads for the roof, hoping to coerce Carrie at gunpoint into flying him out.

Carrie knocks the gun from his hand and engages Fairfax with kicks and punches which sends him falling to his death to the street below.
