Cameron Poe is a highly decorated U.S. ranger who is convicted of manslaughter after protecting his wife in a drunken brawl. Finally, after eight years, he's being paroled and is going home to his wife and daughter. His ride home, the Jailbird, is also transporting society's most vicious murderers to Feltham Penitentiary, Lousiana's toughest maximum security prison. A surprising escape is made on board the plane as the cons seize control of the plane, and head it towards Las Vegas. The officials on the ground want to blow it out of the sky. But, U.S. Marshall Vince Larkin sees Poe as an ally and tries to work with him before his superiors decide to shoot down the plane
