What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The Navy's experimental fighter computer develops a mind of its own and must be stopped by the human pilots who trained it.
Fighter jets, carrier operations, aerial combat, crashes, and behind-enemy-lines missions dominate the film's action design.
The central conflict revolves around a combat aircraft whose learning and independent decisions threaten to trigger a war.
Ben Gannon, Kara Wade, and Henry Purcell operate as human pilots whose teamwork becomes essential against the rogue aircraft.
