Delaney sneaks into the guerrilla camp under cover of darkness and grabs weapons and explosives, placing landmine devices in strategic locations. She then sets out to rescue Walker and Sharon. Armstrong orders that Delaney be put to death, but en route to the destination she is able to jump out of the jeep and escapes from her captors. Before the catastrophe, Delaney and journalist Sharon Serrano had a tension-filled collaboration, and it now fell to them to infiltrate the rebel camp and save Walker. Walker is eventually caught, with orders from Armstrong to capture him alive because he plans to hold him for ransom. One of the reporters is injured while running and tries to hide, but is caught and murdered by Armstrong. VP Walker, a former US Marine, and Delaney, an out lesbian ex-marine, served together in Kuwait during Desert Storm and fight off the rebels. They are led by Armstrong, a ruthless American mercenary. It emerges that the shooters belong to a group of armed rebel forces intent on overthrowing San Pietro's dictatorial government. The remaining survivors, including the Vice President, his Secret Service bodyguard Sergeant Major Lynn Delaney, and two members of the press corps, flee into the jungle and escape from the killers. As the few survivors make it onto the beach of a small off-shore island, one of them is shot dead by gunmen from a guerrilla camp. The plane is forced to ditch in the ocean off the coast of the (fictional) country of San Pietro, located near the Solomon Islands. Air Force Two, carrying Vice President Walker and his staff, is flying over the South Pacific when it is suddenly damaged by an electrical storm.
