The movie follows the story of a PASKAU team led by Captain Adib (Nas-T) and his mentor, Major Adnan (Dato Adi Putra), tasked with protecting humanitarians serving in the fictional war torn island nation of Namburi. On their return home, their plane is unexpectedly shot down by local militants. Nine of the passengers manage to jump before the plane crashes. Back in Malaysia, upon discovery of this news, the air force make preparations for rescue. Adib's brother in-law, Zafran (Aiman Hakim Ridza), a grounded Sukhoi Su-30 pilot, fights for the opportunity to save them. The air force deploys help and the survivors make their final run to salvation.[7]
