Spoilers ahead
Jay Parkins Scott Bakula and his fellow pilot Frank Alan Fletcher have been hired to fly crop dusters for a local farmer, but their high-risk stunts lead to them being fired. With his wife Ellen Rebecca Rigg pregnant and counting on him, Jay struggles to keep a steady income. A tempting new job offers a much brighter payoff: fly Cessna 188 crop dusters from Fiji to Sydney, making stops in Honolulu, Pago Pago, and Norfolk Island along the way. The fee is handsome, the risk is real, and Ellen, worried for their baby, tells him that money isn’t worth the danger. Still, the lure of the contract proves too strong, and Jay and Frank accept the assignment.
