Plot Mountain rescue rangers Gabe Walker, his girlfriend Jessie Deighan, and Frank attempt to rescue their fellow ranger, Hal Tucker, and his girlfriend, Sarah, stranded in the Colorado Rockies. Sarah's harness breaks loose, and she falls to her death, despite Gabe's effort to save her. Hal blames a guilt-stricken Gabe, who leaves the ranger service.
Eight months later, Gabe returns to collect his belongings and persuade Jessie to leave with him, but she refuses. Meanwhile, psychopathic former military intelligence operative Eric Qualen orchestrates the robbery of over $100 million in three suitcases of uncirculated bills. Turncoat U.S. Treasury agent Richard Travers hijacks the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 carrying the money, shooting his team members and attempting to transfer the cases in midair to Qualen and his team of mercenaries aboard a Lockheed JetStar. One of the wounded agents, Matheson, shoots at the thieves before the DC-9 is blown up, forcing the JetStar to crash land in the Rockies and scattering the cases across the mountainside. Meanwhile, FBI agents visit Treasury agent Walter Wright, Travers' superior, and warn him of Qualen's background and the fact that he is equipped with the resources and experience to organize the robbery and Matheson was sent undercover to stop the robbery.
