The wife and children of an American millionaire are kidnapped by a terrorist group in Greece. They take the prisoners to an abandoned mountaintop monastery and demand a ransom. The police are called in but are mostly inept. James Coburn, the father of one of the children, comes to the rescue by hiring a group of hang gliders and joining them in a dramatic rescue. Fantastic location shooting in Greece, especially effective during the hang gliding sequences, propel the otherwise routine kidnapping plot. The Greek-flavored soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith is also quite good.
