The reconnaissance flights of the Americans into East Block airspace were more numerous and more dangerous than originally claimed. From the sky, the Cold War was waged in earnest - with cameras, aerial canons and rockets. There were countless weapons launched, prisoners taken and fatalities suffered.

The film discloses a multitude of heretofore unknown actions, elucidated by impressive, often emotional commentary by the actual participants.
