-The President of the United States is in Moscow to give a speech about a new "Zero Tolerance" respect to terrorists policy. On the way home, Russian terrorists hijack the plane and take the President's wife and daughter hostage until their demands are met. They demand the release of a Russian political prisoner and until he is released, the terrorists will kill a hostage every half hour.
