Air Force pilot John Sands has been wrongfully imprisoned in a military detention center where his memory is to be chemically wiped because some of his superiors feel threatened by the knowledge that he gained from his assignments to operations that were deemed too sensitive for the regular intelligence services. Later, a top secret Air Force Stealth Bomber known as the X-77, which uses the latest in stealth cloaking technology, making it capable of going anywhere undetected, is stolen by corrupt Air Force pilot Ratcher.
General Tom Barnes, John's former commander, hears that John has been arrested after taking down a group of men who were robbing a rest stop.
