Tavis, a defense contractor to the nations of the free world, demonstrates a new “ducted-fan aircraft” (an individual flying platform) to Blackhawk and his men. Ushering them aboard a larger version of the craft that seats all seven Blackhawks, Tavis (from a safe vantage point) activates a remote control that spirits them off to an unnamed Communist nation. There, the waiting General Molok, a dictator and would-be filmmaker, forces the Blackhawks to perform in a propaganda film - with deadly consequences for the Magnificent Seven.
