Air Force One Is Down

PLAY


Kidnappers threaten to kill the U.S. president in 12 hours if a captive Russian dictator is not set free.

A fearless rogue soldier who makes his own rules, a former general driven by vengeance and the most powerful woman in the world become pawns in the deadliest contest of wills to ever be played on the world stage. For Captain Fergus Markey, the capture of Serbian General Arkady Dragutin is a success. With Dragutin sentenced to life in prison for war crimes, Serbia’s bid to join NATO is secured. But Markey still sees Dragutin as a threat. He’s convinced the general is in contact with a coconspirator named Petrovic who’s still at large. His fear becomes reality when Air Force One, en route to initiate NATO negotiations in Serbia with President Harriet Rowntree , plunges into the Mediterranean. But President Rowntree is no longer on board—having already been cast as a victim in a terrifying but brilliantly orchestrated kidnapping scheme.

In a Serbian castle hideaway, President Rowntree, White House correspondent Francesca Romero and exiled British diplomat Steven Featherstone are being held hostage. In twelve hours, the President will be killed—on camera—if Dragutin is not set free. Now, the nature of survival will be tested to the limit—and the whole world will be watching. Strap yourselves in. Air Force One is going down in a hair-raising new television event of high-altitude suspense and wall-to-wall action.
