In a downtown highrise building in L.A., a psychopathic bomber &
extortionist rigs an elevator full of people to plummet into the
basement if his $3-million demand is not met. When SWAT Officers Jack
Traven & Harry Temple foil the bomber's plan and rescue the
hostages, the bomber retaliates. First he blows up a city bus, then
contacts Traven to warn him that a second bus has a bomb attached to it.
Once that bus hits 50mph, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it
will explode. The bomber also warns Jack that if any attempt at rescue
is made, the bomb will also explode. Jack races down the freeway and
manages to board the bus. When an accident injures the driver, young bus
passenger Annie is forced to take over behind the wheel and keep the
bus running at 50 in order to stay alive. Will Jack and his fellow SWAT
members be able to stop the psychopathic bomber - or will the passengers
be killed when the bus runs out of gas?
