A group of young Soviet Jews let their idealism get the better of them and they kill a policeman. One of their number is quickly captured and the others panic. They decide to hijack an airliner on an internal flight in order to escape to the West. Surely they will be welcomed ... They are not. No country in Western Europe wants to deal with this political hot-potato and the plane is forced to divert from country to country as it runs out of fuel. Finally it lands in southern England and a tense stand-off begins.
