Bivši vojni pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hays) nije letio od rata, kada je njegova pogrešna presuda dovela do desetkovanja njegove eskadrile. Sada ima problema s pićem (stalno promašuje usta), a njegova djevojka – stjuardesa Elaine Dickinson (Julie Hagerty) – ostavila ga je. U očajničkoj želji da mu se vrati, Ted je slijedi na njezin idući let… koji strahovito pođe po zlu kada se cijela kabinska posada otruje hranom usred leta! Uz pomoć Elaine, flegmatičnog doktora Rumacka (Leslie Nielsen) i njegova bivšeg neprijatelja Rexa Kramera (Robert Stack) u zračnoj kontroli, Ted će hrabro pokušati sretno prizemljiti avion. No ima li još ono potrebno?

Daryl is a normal 10-year-old boy in many ways. However, unbeknown to his foster parents and friends, Daryl is actually a government-created robot with superhuman reflexes and mental abilities.

When the organization that created him deems the "super soldier" experiment a failure and schedules Daryl to be disassembled, it is up to a few rogue scientists to help him escape.
