Plot
In the heart of the clandestine world of government operations, a notorious gang of thieves infiltrates a top-secret research center, escaping with a virulent and deadly virus. This audacious act of theft triggers the mobilization of the elite special operations team, Mach 1, under the steely-eyed leadership of Commander Bill McNeil, played by Steve Guttenberg.
With adrenaline-fueled determination, Mach 1 intercepts the thieves' airborne escape, reclaiming the deadly virus in a high-stakes mid-flight operation. However, the seemingly successful mission unravels when two team members are brutally murdered, casting a long shadow of suspicion and doubt. McNeil's instincts suggest a sinister twist: a traitor in their midst, an inside hand aiding the thieves.
In a daring gambit to flush out the traitor, Mach 1 re-appropriates the virus, using it as bait to lure the thieves and their inside accomplice into the open. As the team battles against unseen enemies and a deadly virus, they find themselves in a race against time and a test of loyalty.
Packed with suspense, the film 'Airborne' (1998) weaves a thrilling web of espionage and betrayal, where every moment could be fatal, and trust is a luxury that the Mach 1 team cannot afford.
