A plane carrying oil company personnel crashes in the Sahara Desert, only to have one of the passengers, a skilled airplane designer, propose a plan to build a functional aircraft from the wreckage, giving the survivors a glimmer of hope for rescue.

In the heart of the Sahara, a cargo plane crashes in a treacherous sandstorm, leaving a small group of survivors with limited resources. An airplane designer on board sparks hope by proposing a daring plan to salvage a damaged wing and construct a makeshift aircraft, their only chance to escape before supplies dwindle.
