    When a passenger plane crash lands at a small airport, the emergency services are puzzled by the rather Marie Celeste scenario they discover. Where have the people gone? More importantly - where have $100,000 gone too? "Iris" (Jean Brooks) is the daughter of one of the missing men and she determines to engage the services of the "Falcon" (Tom Conway) to get to the bottom of this mystery. Before he can sink his teeth into the investigation though, her father reappears - all on his own - with a rather fantastic tale of mid-air hijackings and anti-government conspiracies. Is he telling the truth or is he implicated in some nefarious plot, too? It's standard wartime fayre, this - a slightly far-fetched plot that at least gets the imagination going to compensate for some rather join-the-dots acting and writing. The denouement is a wee bit different and though I still think it's a shame George Sanders didn't stay with this franchise, Conway does enough to keep it watchable and just a little intriguing.

One cold winter night in Afghanistan is about to get a whole lot worse for Rana Rae, a Gurkha soldier left to guard a British military outpost, when Captain Noah Brandt arrives looking for refuge from a group of rogue special ops and a cell of heavily armed Taliban. The two soldiers must fight for their lives as they attempt to call for backup before the rogue squad, led by the backstabbing Sergeant Bartlett, can hunt them down to retrieve a case of missile guidance chips that Noah intercepted. But Bartlett and his men do not count on Rana, whose ferocious Gurkha training makes him a force to be reckoned with.
