Political terrorists, in a desperate bid to focus the world's attention on their fight for freedom, kidnap an American Ambassador (Alan Arkin). Now, the diplomat's life hangs in the balance... helplessly caught between a government unwilling to cooperate... and his fear of the captors themselves! (official distributor synopsis)
