A down-on-his-luck pilot stuck repossessing private jets is offered one last shot at redemption in the form of a dangerous rescue mission in director Jerry Jameson's Christian-themed adventure. Dan Hogan's (Richard Tyson) once-promising stint in the skies has come to a standstill, and now the only way that the former pilot can seem to make ends meet is by playing repo man to the jet-set crowd. When the father of Dan's ex-girlfriend Ann (Bobbie Phillips) receives news that the Columbian village in which his missionary daughter lives has fallen prey to marauding drug-runners who aren't above killing to make a buck, he enlists the aid of the washed-up pilot in ensuring that the endangered girl makes it back home alive. Now, with time running short and the nefarious General Salazar (Rene Moreno) making his way to the remote village in which Ann has set up camp, Dan must enlist the aid of talkative missionary dentist Dr. Mateo Barrero (Adriano Gonzalez) in navigating the treacherous grounds of Alto Risco and bringing home the benevolent Ann. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
