After being framed for a crime they didn't commit, a Special Forces team—consisting of Hannibal, Face, B.A., and Murdock—is sentenced to prison. However, they manage to escape and begin a mission to clear their names. They discover that their former commander, General Morrison, is involved in a conspiracy involving stolen U.S. Treasury plates. The team navigates a series of action-packed set pieces, including a high-speed chase in a modified GMC Vandura and a daring escape from a prison.
