When radical Iranian students seize the U.S. Embassy compound in
Tehran and take over fifty diplomats hostage the U.S. President has
to negotiate with a government that wants only to humiliate the
United States. When talks fail, the President must turn to the
military to bring the Americans home by force. As preparations are
made for an audacious rescue, an American intelligence officer
hides alone in a Tehran safehouse with a secret. He is protecting a
powerful weapon known as the Perses Device, which is now at risk of
being captured and employed against the United States. The Agency
Director orders that it must be brought out at all costs. But as a
small American team clandestinely enters Tehran to lead the way for
the rescue force, a traitor spills the secret and KGB Spetsnaz
operatives begin their own search for the weapon. At the last
minute, one more American is added to the advance team - his sole
mission is to get the Agency officer and the Perses device to
safety. When the rescue mission fails, only two Americans are left
to run the gauntlet of enemy agents and get the weapon out. Getting
in was easy...
