Air Force Colonel Jim Caldwell has just been reassigned as a cold war B-52 commander who must shape up his men to pass a gruelling inspection that the previous commander failed. Hardened by what he has seen and saddened by what he has become, Colonel Caldwell begins to alienate those he would die for, his squadron, and the one person for whom he lives, his wife. In the ultimate battle between love and honour, he fights to once again show his wife that he can be a gentleman. |
