During routine maintenance of a liquid-fuelled ICBM, the fuel tank is penetrated by a falling socket. The film traces the efforts of the maintenance crew and associated military and civilian personnel to recover the potentially disastrous situation before the fuel tank is sufficiently depressurised that the stack collapses and explodes.[3]
Inspired by the 1980 Damascus Titan missile explosion, Jeffrey K. Kennedy, one of the main protagonists of the Damascus event, was a special technical advisor for this movie.
